av_strlcpy() returns the length of the src string to enable the caller to check for truncation. It is currently used in the following way in dump_metadata(): Every metadata value is searched for \b, \n, \v, \f, \r and then the data up to the first of these characters found is copied to a small temporary buffer via av_strlcpy() (but of course not more than fits into said buffer) and then printed; all characters up to the character found earlier are then treated as consumed.
But this is bad performance-wise if the while string is big and contains many of these characters, because av_strlcpy() will unnecessarily calculate the length of the whole remaining string. (dump_metadata() actually ignored the return value of av_strlcpy().) Fix this by just not copying the data in a temporary buffer at all. Instead just use the %.*s to bound the number of characters output.
