.SH NAME
SDL_strlcat \- Concatenate strings\[char46]
.SH HEADER FILE
Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc\[char46]h

.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include \(dqSDL3/SDL.h\(dq
.PP
.BI "size_t SDL_strlcat(char *dst, const char *src, size_t maxlen);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
This function appends up to
.BR maxlen

\(bu 
.BR SDL_strlen
(dst) - 1
characters from
.BR src
to the end of the string in
.BR dst
, then appends a
null terminator\[char46]
.BR src
and
.BR dst
must not overlap\[char46]

If
.BR maxlen

\(bu 
.BR SDL_strlen
(dst) - 1 is less than or equal to 0,
then
.BR dst
is unmodified\[char46]

.SH FUNCTION PARAMETERS
.TP
.I dst
The destination buffer already containing the first null-terminated string\[char46] Must not be NULL and must not overlap with
.BR src
\[char46]
.TP
.I src
The second null-terminated string\[char46] Must not be NULL, and must not overlap with
.BR dst
\[char46]
.TP
.I maxlen
The length (in characters) of the destination buffer\[char46]
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns the length (in characters, excluding the null terminator)
of the string in
.BR dst
plus the length of
.BR src
\[char46]

.SH THREAD SAFETY
It is safe to call this function from any thread\[char46]

.SH AVAILABILITY
This function is available since SDL 3\[char46]2\[char46]0\[char46]
