I didn't test this, but I assume you did.

The traditional way to get a hex digit is to write "0123456789abcdef"[x],
although your way is fine too.

If the function name is long, this will overflow the line buffer.

There's no reason to write "line =" in each of these, since strcat()
just returns its first argument.
