# PetscStrlcat
Concatenates a string onto a given string, up to a given length
## Synopsis
```
static inline PetscErrorCode PetscStrlcat(char s[], const char t[], size_t n)
```
Not Collective, No Fortran Support
## Input Parameters
- ***s -*** pointer to string to be added to at end
- ***t -*** string to be added
- ***n -*** length of the original allocated string
## Notes
Unlike the system call `strncat()`, the length passed in is the length of the
original allocated space, not the length of the left-over space. This is
similar to the BSD system call `strlcat()`.
