LinkRead

LinkRead[link] reads one expression from the specified MathLink connection.

LinkRead[link, h] wraps h around the expression read before evaluating it.

link must be an active LinkObject, as returned by functions like LinkLaunch or Links.

LinkRead will wait until it has read a complete expression before returning.

You can test whether an expression is ready to be read from a particular link using LinkReadyQ.

You can use LinkRead[link, Hold] to get an expression from a link without evaluating it.
