Member Function Documentation

template<class MReq , class MRes >

bool ros::ServiceClient::call	(	MReq &	req,
		MRes &	res
	)

inline

Call the service aliased by this handle with the specified request/response messages.

Note: The request/response message types must match the types specified in the templated call to NodeHandle::serviceClient()/servicecreateClient()

Definition at line 55 of file service_client.h.

template<class Service >

bool ros::ServiceClient::call ( Service & service )

inline

Call the service aliased by this handle with the specified service request/response.

Definition at line 81 of file service_client.h.

template<typename MReq , typename MRes >

bool ros::ServiceClient::call	(	const MReq &	req,
		MRes &	resp,
		const std::string &	service_md5sum
	)

inline

Mostly for internal use, the other templated versions of call() just call into this one.

		SerializedMessage &	resp,

void ros::ServiceClient::deserializeFailed ( const std::exception & e )

inlineprivate

Definition at line 183 of file service_client.h.

bool ros::ServiceClient::exists ( )

Checks if this is both advertised and available.

Returns: true if the service is up and available, false otherwise

Definition at line 193 of file service_client.cpp.

std::string ros::ServiceClient::getService ( )

Returns the name of the service this ServiceClient connects to.

Definition at line 203 of file service_client.cpp.

bool ros::ServiceClient::isPersistent ( ) const

Returns true if this handle points to a persistent service, false otherwise.

Definition at line 165 of file service_client.cpp.

bool ros::ServiceClient::isValid ( ) const

Returns whether or not this handle is valid. For a persistent service, this becomes false when the connection has dropped. Non-persistent service handles are always valid.

Definition at line 155 of file service_client.cpp.

Definition at line 163 of file service_client.h.

bool ros::ServiceClient::operator!= ( const ServiceClient & rhs ) const

inline

Definition at line 174 of file service_client.h.

bool ros::ServiceClient::operator< ( const ServiceClient & rhs ) const

Definition at line 164 of file service_client.h.

bool ros::ServiceClient::operator== ( const ServiceClient & rhs ) const

inline

Definition at line 169 of file service_client.h.

void ros::ServiceClient::shutdown ( )

Shutdown the connection associated with this ServiceClient.

This method usually does not need to be explicitly called, as automatic shutdown happens when all copies of this ServiceClient go out of scope

This method overrides the automatic reference counted shutdown, and does so immediately.

Definition at line 175 of file service_client.cpp.

bool ros::ServiceClient::waitForExistence ( ros::Duration timeout = ros::Duration(-1) )

Wait for this service to be advertised and available. Blocks until it is.

Parameters

timeout The amount of time to wait for before timing out. If timeout is -1 (default), waits until the node is shutdown

Returns: true on success, false otherwise
