The event queue can actually be used as a two way communication

the state of the device within SDL.

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

video mode.

//! Sets up a filter to process all events before they are posted
//! to the event queue.
/*!
This function sets up a filter to process all events before they
are posted to the event queue. This is a very powerful and
flexible feature. The filter is prototyped as:
\code
typedef int (*SDL_EventFilter)(const SDL_Event *event);
\endcode
If the filter returns 1, then the event will be added to the
internal queue. If it returns 0, then the event will be dropped
from the queue. This allows selective filtering of dynamically.
There is one caveat when dealing with the SDL_QUITEVENT event
type. The event filter is only called when the window manager
desires to close the application window. If the event filter
returns 1, then the window will be closed, otherwise the window
will remain open if possible. If the quit event is generated by
an interrupt signal, it will bypass the internal queue and be
delivered to the application at the next event poll.
\note Events pushed onto the queue with Push() or Peep() do not
get passed through the event filter.
\warning Be careful! The event filter function may run in a
different thread so be careful what you do within it.

automatically dropped from the event queue and will not be
filtered.

processed normally.

current processing state of the specified event type.
