.SH PARAMETERS
.TP 20
\fIs\fP
Pointer to a string
.TP
\fIt\fP
Long integer
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBnameindex\fP function adds the separator defined by \fBMBK_SEPAR\fP(1),
and then the string version of \fIi\fP at the end of string \fIs\fP.
This is not like a \fBstrcat\fP(3) of the standard library, because \fIs\fP is
not beeing modified.
.br
The string returned has already been put in the names dictionary by
a call to \fBnamealloc\fP(3).
.SH RETURN VALUE
\fBnameindex\fP returns a pointer to a string in the name hash table.
