ngl this page is short but she's doing her job. if you're not the telemetry debugfs module, this function is not for you and that's the boundary 💜

and that's a wrap, bestie!! 🌸 this lil page came out of ./drivers/platform/x86/intel/t... (yes, the path is truncated in the original, we're keeping it exactly like that, don't @ me) and it's dated October 2026, filed under telemetry_get_evtname(9) — mwah, go forth and debugfs responsibly 🎀✨🫶
