STRUCT SSAM_EVENT_ID(9)

💅 struct ssam_event_id(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for struct ssam_event_id, and yes it's a whole member of the kernel API manual, we love that for it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ssam_event_id — the Unique event ID used for enabling events. That's it, that's the whole vibe check: one lil struct that says "hey, enable this event specifically" 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ssam_event_id {
    u8 target_category;
    u8 instance;
};

look at her, two whole fields, no notes, iconic 👑

---

🫶 Members 🫶

• target_category — the Target category of the event source. this is the what-kind-of-thing we're talking about 🎯
• instance — the Instance ID of the event source. and this is the which-one-of-that-kind 🌟

---

💜 Description 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — this struct specifies the event to be enabled/disabled, and it does that via an externally provided registry. but bestie, listen — it does not specify the registry to be used itself. that's a whole different struct's job, and that job belongs to struct ssam_event_registry 💅 no cap.

so like, ssam_event_id is the "which event" half of the equation, and ssam_event_registry is the "where do we look it up" half. two different girlies, two different responsibilities, don't mix them up 🙈

kay that's the whole page, slay 💅 this came from the source ./include/linux/surface_aggreg... with the date stamped October 2026, and the footer still calls her struct ssam_event_id(9) 🎀 mwah, bye bestie! 💖
