LinkInterrupt

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