+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm __CONCAT ,
+.Nm __STRING
+.Nd argument substitution
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/cdefs.h
+.Ft xy
+.Fn __CONCAT "x" "y"
+.Ft const char *
+.Fn __STRING "x"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+macro makes use of the
+.Xr cpp 1
+preprocessor to concatenate two tokens.
+When the macro is expanded,
+.Fa x
+and
+.Fa y
+are combined into a single token, provided that the result forms a valid token;
+two tokens that together do not form a valid token can not be concatenated.
+This is known as
+.Dq token concatenation
+or
+.Dq token pasting .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn __STRING
+macro uses the conventional
+.Sq #
+preprocessing operator to replace the argument
+.Fa x
+with a string literal.
+This is also known as
+.Dq stringification .
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following two
+.Xr printf 3
+calls produce the same output:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define Net 0x01
+#define BSD 0x02
+
+#define NetBSD "NetBSD"
+
+(void)printf("%s\en", __CONCAT(Net, BSD));
+(void)printf("%s%s\en", __STRING(Net), __STRING(BSD));

+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr cpp 1 ,
+.Xr cdefs 3
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn __CONCAT
+and
+.Fn __STRING
+macros first appeared in
+.Nx 1.3 .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Many small details direct the proper use of the macros.
+For example, while all leading and trailing whitespace is ignored when
+.Fn __STRING
+is used, it is undefined whether
+.Xr cpp 1
+puts white space between the tokens when
+.Fn __CONCAT
+is used.
+It can be also noted that the C preprocessor converts all
+comments to whitespace before any macros are even considered.
+The use of either macro is discouraged in complex constructs.
+.Pp
+Use of this macro is non-portable; this is part of the implementation
+namespace and should only be used in
+.Nx
+code.
