+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+These are functions for accessing tracefs event specific files.
+These functions act similar to the tracefs instance file functions
+but are easier to get to if the system and events are known before hand.
+
+The *tracefs_event_get_file()* returns the full path of the _file_ for
+the given _system_ and _event_ that is within the given _instance_.
+If _instance_ is NULL, then the file for the _event_ for the top level
+instance is returned. Note, there is no check to see if the file actually
+exists or even if the system and event exist. It only creates the path
+name for such an event if it did exist. This acts similar to the
+*tracefs_instance_get_file*(3), but is to be used to get to event files
+if the _system_ and _event_ are already known.
+
+The *tracefs_event_file_read()* reads the content for the _event_ _file_
+for the given _instance_ or the top level instance if _instance_ is
+NULL. The content of the file is returned and _psize_ is set to the amount
+of data that was read. The returned content must be freed with *free*(3).
+This acts similar to the *tracefs_instance_file_read*(3), but is
+to be used to read the event file if the _system_ and _event_ are already
+known.
+
+The *tracefs_event_file_write()* writes _str_ to the _event_ _file_.
+It will truncate anything that is already in that file.
+This acts similar to the *tracefs_instance_file_write*(3), but is
+to be used to read the event file if the _system_ and _event_ are already
+known.
+
+The *tracefs_event_file_append()* appends _str_ to the _event_ _file_.
+It will not clear out the file as it writes _sting_.
+This acts similar to the *tracefs_instance_file_append*(3), but is
+to be used to read the event file if the _system_ and _event_ are already
+known.
+
+The *tracefs_event_file_clear()* clears the content of the _event_ _file_.
+This acts similar to the *tracefs_instance_file_clear*(3), but is
+to be used to read the event file if the _system_ and _event_ are already
+known.
+
+The *tracefs_event_file_exists()* returns true if the _event_ _file_
+exists, and false otherwise. This acts similar to the *tracefs_instance_file_exists*(3),
+but is to be used to read the event file if the _system_ and _event_ are already
+known.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+*tracefs_event_get_file()* returns the path of the given _system_/_event_ _file_ on
+success and NULL on error. The return value must be freed with *tracefs_put_tracing_file*(3).
+
+*tracefs_event_file_read()* reads the content of the _system_/_event_ _file_ or
+NULL on error. The return pointer must be freed with *free*(3).
+
+*tracefs_event_file_write()* and *tracefs_event_file_append()* returns the number of
+bytes written to the _system_/_event_ _file_ or negative on error.
+
+*tracefs_event_file_clear()* returns zero on success and -1 on error.
+
+*tracefs_event_file_exists()* returns true if the _system_/_event_ _file_ exists for
+the given _instance_ (or top level if _instance_ is NULL) or false otherwise.
