Sorry about that. I've reviewed the standard and perused the source
tree, as you suggested, to determine the best style. Attached is my
updated file.
Glad to be of help,
Peter Lustig
P.S. Do you know if there are any plans in the future to implement
write operations for filesystems? (I noticed raw disk writing is
currently supported.) If not, is the reason due to the technical
challenges (e.g. NTFS only had read-only access in GNU/Linux for quite a
while) or just a general lack of interest?

Much better. There are still few problems like the arbitrary limit (we
avoid any arbitrary limits, you have one easy to avoid on filename
length). Also we don't use such ABORT macros as they offer no
readability advantage. Review in more details when time permits.

Neither. Reliability concerns. Writing to filesystem is potentially
dangerous and needs to be throughly tested. Since writing is rare for
bootloader we won't receive enough testing of these code pathes so every
write will remain a risk. We can't have such risks.
