LinkInterrupt

LinkInterrupt[link]

sends an interrupt to the program at the other end of the specified WSTP connection.

Details

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 WSTP templates will by default set the global variable WSAbort if they receive an abort.

Examples

Launch a subsidiary Wolfram Language kernel process:

Read the first packet:

Send an infinite loop program:

Use LinkReadyQ to check whether the program has finished:

Send an interrupt:

The process has stopped with an interrupt menu:

Close the link:
