  Routine Description:

  This routine is a safer version of the C built-in function 'strncat', with
  some additional parameters.  In addition to functionality provided by
  RtlStringCchCatN, this routine also returns a pointer to the end of the
  destination string and the number of characters left in the destination string
  including the null terminator. The flags parameter allows additional controls.

Arguments:

pszDest         -   destination string which must be null terminated

cchDest         -   size of destination buffer in characters.
length must be (_tcslen(pszDest) + min(cchToAppend, _tcslen(pszSrc)) + 1)
to hold all of the combine string plus the null
terminator.

pszSrc          -   source string

cchToAppend     -   maximum number of characters to append

ppszDestEnd     -   if ppszDestEnd is non-null, the function will return a
pointer to the end of the destination string.  If the
function appended any data, the result will point to the
null termination character

pcchRemaining   -   if pcchRemaining is non-null, the function will return the
number of characters left in the destination string,
including the null terminator

dwFlags         -   controls some details of the string copy:

STRSAFE_FILL_BEHIND_NULL
if the function succeeds, the low byte of dwFlags will be
used to fill the uninitialize part of destination buffer
behind the null terminator

STRSAFE_IGNORE_NULLS
treat NULL string pointers like empty strings (TEXT(""))

STRSAFE_FILL_ON_FAILURE
if the function fails, the low byte of dwFlags will be
used to fill all of the destination buffer, and it will
be null terminated. This will overwrite any pre-existing
or truncated string

STRSAFE_NULL_ON_FAILURE
if the function fails, the destination buffer will be set
to the empty string. This will overwrite any pre-existing or
truncated string

STRSAFE_NO_TRUNCATION
if the function returns STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW, pszDest
will not contain a truncated string, it will remain unchanged.

Notes:
Behavior is undefined if source and destination strings overlap.

pszDest and pszSrc should not be NULL unless the STRSAFE_IGNORE_NULLS flag
is specified.  If STRSAFE_IGNORE_NULLS is passed, both pszDest and pszSrc
may be NULL.  An error may still be returned even though NULLS are ignored
due to insufficient space.

Return Value:

STATUS_SUCCESS -   if all of pszSrc or the first cchToAppend characters
were concatenated to pszDest and the resultant dest
string was null terminated

failure        -   you can use the macro NTSTATUS_CODE() to get a win32
error code for all hresult failure cases

STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW /
NTSTATUS_CODE(status) == ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER
-   this return value is an indication that the operation
failed due to insufficient space. When this error
occurs, the destination buffer is modified to contain
a truncated version of the ideal result and is null
terminated. This is useful for situations where
truncation is ok.

It is strongly recommended to use the NT_SUCCESS() macro to test the
return value of this function
