LinkWrite

LinkWrite

LinkWrite[link,expr]

writes expr to the specified WSTP connection.

Details

link must be an active LinkObject, as returned by functions like LinkLaunch or Links.
You can use LinkWrite[link,Unevaluated[expr]] to write expr to the link without evaluating it.
The head of expr will often be a packet that specifies how expr should be processed by the program which receives it.
When LinkWrite is used to send data to a Wolfram Language kernel, EnterTextPacket["string"] enters the text of an input line, and EvaluatePacket[expr] sends an expression for evaluation.

Examples

Basic Examples (1)

Launch a subsidiary Wolfram Language kernel process:
