snprintf should be passed the complete size of the buffer, including the space for '\0'. The previous code resulted in the *_reset and *_shutdown strings being truncated.

- snprintf(rfkill->reset_name, len + 6 , "%s_reset", rfkill->name); - snprintf(rfkill->shutdown_name, len + 9, "%s_shutdown", rfkill->name); + snprintf(rfkill->reset_name, len + 7 , "%s_reset", rfkill->name); + snprintf(rfkill->shutdown_name, len + 10, "%s_shutdown", rfkill->name);
I can't find the context for the above, but they look very dubious. I'd expect: snprintf(foo, sizeof foo, ...). If you are trying to truncate rfkill->name you need to use %.*s. David
