Not relevant.
The only problem with strlcpy() is the return value when the
the copy has to be truncated.
As well as wasting computrons it can fault if the source string
isn't actually terminated (which might be true for arbitrary pointers).
In this case the source strings are well formed and short.
While strscpy() might be a preferred function the reason above
is bogus.
