       size_t  xt_strlcpy(char * restrict dest,	const char * restrict src,
       size_t dstsize)

ARGUMENTS
       dest:   Pointer to a character array of at least	len dstsize, where
       the possibly modified string is stored.
       src:    Point to	a character array containing the string	to compact
