  lt_strlcpy copies up to dstsize - 1 characters from the NULL-terminated
  string src to dst, NULL-terminating the result. The total length of
  the string which would have been created given sufficient buffer
  size (may be longer than dstsize) is returned. This function
  substitutes for strlcpy() which is available under OpenBSD, FreeBSD
  and Solaris 9.

  Buffer overflow can be checked as  follows:

    if (lt_strlcpy(dst, src, dstsize) >= dstsize)
      return -1;
