26 concat -- concatenate a variable number of strings
32 char *concat (s1, s2, s3, ..., NULL)
36 Concatenate a variable number of strings and return the result
37 in freshly malloc'd memory.
39 Returns NULL if insufficient memory is available. The argument
40 list is terminated by the first NULL pointer encountered. Pointers
41 to empty strings are ignored.
45 This function uses xmalloc() which is expected to be a front end
46 function to malloc() that deals with low memory situations. In
47 typical use, if malloc() returns NULL then xmalloc() diverts to an
48 error handler routine which never returns, and thus xmalloc will
49 never return a NULL pointer. If the client application wishes to
50 deal with low memory situations itself, it should supply an xmalloc
51 that just directly invokes malloc and blindly returns whatever
