Could/should really be "static const char *const names[]".

Getting out of the loop here isn't really what I'd call "limp along" -
it'd likely get the communication to a halt (if there are more
responses ready). I'd rather see this print something, and then
continue the loop. Or alternatively, if we really want to stop
communication in such a case, initiate tear down of the device.

Same here, obviously.

If you really want to give this a numeric tag, wouldn't it be better
to make this _4? But maybe you could leave out the definition here
altogether, and leave the corresponding names[] slot set to NULL?
