SDL_PumpEvents(3)						 SDL API Reference						 SDL_PumpEvents(3)

NAME
       SDL_PumpEvents- Pumps the event loop, gathering events from the input devices.

SYNOPSIS
       #include "SDL.h"

       void SDL_PumpEvents(void);

DESCRIPTION
       Pumps the event loop, gathering events from the input devices.

       SDL_PumpEvents  gathers all the pending input information from devices and places it on the event queue. Without calls to SDL_PumpEvents no
       events would ever be placed on the queue. Often calls the need for SDL_PumpEvents is hidden from the user since SDL_PollEvent and SDL_Wait-
       Event  implicitly call SDL_PumpEvents. However, if you are not polling or waiting for events (e.g. your filtering them), then you must call
       SDL_PumpEvents to force an event queue update.

	      Note:

	      You can only call this function in the thread that set the video mode.
