Would it be more efficient here to replace this:
--
dot_name[modsym - name + 1] = '\0';
strlcat(dot_name, modsym, sizeof(dot_name));
--

with this:
strncpy(&dot_name[modsym - name + 1], modsym, KSYM_NAME_LEN);

(So you aren't rescanning dot_name to find the end, when you already know the end position?)

and here do:
strncpy(dot_name, name, sizeof(dot_name));

(and remove the null termination immediately above)

oops.  s/sizeof(dot_name)/sizeof(dot_name) - 1/

Sent too soon.  The suggestions don't guarantee null termination.  Refined, below. (Sorry for the noise.)

keep the null termination, and just adjust the starting point for strlcat:
--
dot_name[modsym - name + 1] = '\0';
strlcat(&dot_name[modsym - name + 1], modsym, KSYM_NAME_LEN);
--

Yeah, the string operations here are a bit of a minefield...

... as I just realized this is an epic FAIL! ;/

I will take my time to redo this.
