Skipping.\n", *rules); "arch_rules" is an array of hard coded strings. The generic reason for replacing strlcpy with strscpy doesn't seem applicable; however, the additonal warning is appropriate. (User-visible strings are not bound to the 80 column length. Breaking up the line like this is fine, but unnecessary.)
