strcat strncat and strlen

Strncat is supposed to be better than strcat for some reason I've
read. Is this because of a potential buffer overflow? I have compiled
properly and used strlen too and I just wonder what is the need to return a
strlen?

Has anyone used quite abit anyway the strlen function?
