Perhaps these string_upper and string_lower utility functions
should return dst not void so these functions could be used in
output calls.

So instead of:

+		string_upper(prefix_name, prefix_name);
 		snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%s-%s", prefix_name, kind);

this could be consolidated:

		snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%s-%s", string_upper(prefix_name), kind);

Perhaps:
