Some more trivia...

I think most of this would look nicer if you
adopted the net style of aligning multi-line
statements to the appropriate open parenthesis.

This sscanf looks fragile.

buf = "1 some_really_long_name_longer_than_MAX_PRIM_NAME 2"

stack overrun.

Where does buf come from?

Can't both of these be consolidated into a 2 functions using
offset_of and/or adding a string argument?

You don't really need the !!.  The compiler does that.
