Append content of a char*-string to another char*-string.

Append content of a char*-string to another char*-string. If the total size of s1 + s2 is larger than buffer size, reallocate s1 and adjust buffer size. The target string mst be allocated with alloc, the result string - unless it is zero - must be released using the release function.

Name	Type	Default	Description
Return	pointer to target string s1
s1	char*	-	target string
s2	char*	-	String to append
bufferize	int*	-	size of memory allocated for the target string,

This examples appends the content of a string with arbitrary length to another string.

int main()
{
    int 		bufsize	= 256;
    char	*	s1 		= alloc(bufsize);
    char	*	s2 		= "string with arbitrary length, might be much longer in real life";
    int 		i 		= 0;

    for (i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
    {
        s1 = str_append(s1, s2, &bufsize);
        wlog ("", "str address: %d, buffer size: %d\n", s1, bufsize);
    }
    showmessage(s1);

    release(s1);
    return 0;
}
