+/// Creates an event in an event group.
+///
+/// The event's notification function, context, and task priority are specified
+/// by `notify_fn`, `notify_ctx`, and `notify_tpl`, respectively. The event will
+/// be added to the group of events identified by `event_group`.
+///
+/// If no group is specified by `event_group`, this function behaves as if the
+/// same parameters had been passed to `create_event()`.
+///
+/// Event groups are collections of events identified by a shared GUID where,
+/// when one member event is signaled, all other events are signaled and their
+/// individual notification actions are taken. All events are guaranteed to be
+/// signaled before the first notification action is taken. All notification
+/// functions will be executed in the order specified by their `Tpl`.
+///
+/// An event can only be part of a single event group. An event may be removed
+/// from an event group by calling [`close_event`].
+///
+/// The [`EventType`] of an event uses the same values as `create_event()`, except that
+/// `EventType::SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES` and `EventType::SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE`
+/// are not valid.
+///
+/// For events of type `NOTIFY_SIGNAL` or `NOTIFY_WAIT`, `notify_fn` must be
+/// `Some` and `notify_tpl` must be a valid task priority level. For other event
+/// types these parameters are ignored.
+///
+/// More than one event of type `EventType::TIMER` may be part of a single event
+/// group. However, there is no mechanism for determining which of the timers
+/// was signaled.
+///
+/// This operation is only supported starting with UEFI 2.0; earlier versions
+/// will fail with [`Status::UNSUPPORTED`].
+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// The caller must ensure they are passing a valid `Guid` as `event_group`, if applicable.
+///
+/// # Errors
+///
+/// * [`Status::INVALID_PARAMETER`]: an invalid combination of parameters was provided.
+/// * [`Status::OUT_OF_RESOURCES`]: the event could not be allocated.
