Function Documentation

rcl_ret_t rcl_remap_node_name(const rcl_arguments_t *local_arguments, const rcl_arguments_t *global_arguments, const char *node_name, rcl_allocator_t allocator, char **output_name)

Remap a node name based on given rules.

This function returns the node name that a node with the given name would be remapped to. When a node’s name is remapped it changes its logger name and the output of expanding relative topic and service names.

When composing nodes make sure that the final node names used are unique per process. There is not currently a way to independently remap the names of two nodes that were created with the same node name and are manually composed into one process.

The behavior of local_arguments, global_arguments, node_name, the order remap rules are applied, and node specific rules is identical to rcl_remap_topic_name().
