gollark: ```luafunction os.pullEventRaw( sFilter ) return coroutine.yield( sFilter )endfunction os.pullEvent( sFilter ) local eventData = table.pack( os.pullEventRaw( sFilter ) ) if eventData[1] == "terminate" then error( "Terminated", 0 ) end return table.unpack( eventData, 1, eventData.n )end```
gollark: This runs in PotatoBIOS and shouldn't be terminated, so it ignores that.
gollark: No, `os.pullEvent` handles termination too.
