[syslinux] fwrite?

[Bryan.James.Krone-EXT at jci.com]

Is there a mechanism already in Syslinux that would count the number of 
reboot of an OS? I'm working with an embedded OS and I would like to 
reboot into another OS if the original fails to boot more than 10 times.

Thanks for responding to my earlier question.

Writing to files isn't supported by Syslinux.

Don Hiatt ported the ext2fs lib to Syslinux:

As far as I know, it was never merged with the official Syslinux tree.

I found his git tree:
