LinkInterrupt

LinkInterrupt[link]
sends an interrupt to the program at the other end of the specified MathLink connection.

MORE INFORMATION

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

It is up to the external program to determine how it will handle the interrupt.

External programs created from MathLink templates will by default set the global variable MLAbort if they receive an abort.
