SDL_Event event;
if(SDL_PollEvent(&event)){
// handle your event here
}
// do some other stuff here -- draw your app, play your music, perform other operations...

SDL_PollEvent is the favored way of receiving system events since it can be done from the main loop and does not suspend the main loop while waiting on an event to be posted.
