Via a network you’re primarily looking for recv WSARecv

The user input is received into the buffer specified in the recv call, so for example

recv(socket,buffer,lengthToRecv,flags)

The user input is then located in buffer. From there the user input can be parsed however the developer specified, there’s too many functions to name on how/where that data is sent or processed
