+The parameters passed to this function are the same as those returned by `os.pullEvent()`. See [here](https://tweaked.cc/module/os.html#v:pullEvent) for more info.
+
+Alternatively, you can add an onEvent event to an XML layout:
+
+```xml
+<onEvent>
+    local eventType = event[2]
+    
+    if (eventType == "modem_message") then
+        local message = event[6]
+        basalt.debug("Message received: " .. message)
+    end
+</onEvent>
+```
+
+In this case, the event table indices correspond to:
+* 1: The Object where this event is being handled
+* 2: A string representing the Basalt event type. This will always just be the string `"other_event"`
+* 3 onwards: the `os.pullEvent()` parameters
