What is the difference between SDL_HasEvent() and SDL_GetEventState()?

Question

    I understand that the SDL_HasEvent(Uint32 type) check whether type is present in the event queue or not. However, I don't understand what the SDL_GetEventState(Uint32 type) does.
    It is stated in the SDL2.0 wiki that we use SDL_GetEventState() to query the current processing state of a specified SDL_EventType. I thought these two functions are the same. Could anyone explain to me what the second function does? Thank you very much.

SDL_GetEventState is related to the SDL_EventState function. The SDL_EventState function allows you to enable and disable events by type. In other words:

SDL_HasEvent tells you whether the event queue contains a certain type of event. SDL_GetEventState tells you whether the event queue is ignoring a certain type of event.
