Function Documentation

Check whether the master is up.

This method tries to contact the master. You can call it any time after ros::init has been called. The intended usage is to check whether the master is up before trying to make other requests (subscriptions, advertisements, etc.).

Returns:
true if the master is available, false otherwise.

Definition at line 119 of file master.cpp.

bool ros::master::execute ( const std::string &  method,
const XmlRpc::XmlRpcValue request,
XmlRpc::XmlRpcValue response,
XmlRpc::XmlRpcValue payload,
bool  wait_for_master 
)

Execute an XMLRPC call on the master.

Parameters:
methodThe RPC method to invoke
requestThe arguments to the RPC call
response[out] The resonse that was received.
payload[out] The payload that was received.
wait_for_masterWhether or not this call should loop until it can contact the master
Returns:
true if call succeeds, false otherwise.

Definition at line 179 of file master.cpp.

const std::string & ros::master::getHost ( )

Get the hostname where the master runs.

Returns:
The master's hostname, as a string

Definition at line 94 of file master.cpp.

bool ros::master::getNodes ( V_string nodes)

Retreives the currently-known list of nodes from the master.

Definition at line 146 of file master.cpp.

uint32_t ros::master::getPort ( )

Get the port where the master runs.

Returns:
The master's port.

Definition at line 99 of file master.cpp.

bool ros::master::getTopics ( V_TopicInfo &  topics)

Get the list of topics that are being published by all nodes.

This method communicates with the master to retrieve the list of all currently advertised topics.

Parameters:
topicsA place to store the resulting list. Each item in the list is a pair <string topic, string type>. The type is represented in the format "package_name/MessageName", and is also retrievable through message.__getDataType() or MessageName::__s_getDataType().
Returns:
true on success, false otherwise (topics not filled in)

Definition at line 126 of file master.cpp.

const std::string & ros::master::getURI ( )

Get the full URI to the master (eg. http://host:port/)

Definition at line 104 of file master.cpp.

void ros::master::init ( const M_string remappings)

Definition at line 50 of file master.cpp.

Set the max time this node should spend looping trying to connect to the master.

Parameters:
Thetimeout. A negative value means infinite

Definition at line 109 of file master.cpp.
