Function rcl_client_get_service_name

• Defined in File client.h

Function Documentation

const char *rcl_client_get_service_name(const rcl_client_t *client)

Get the name of the service that this client will request a response from.

This function returns the client’s internal service name string. This function can fail, and therefore return NULL, if the:

• client is NULL

• client is invalid (never called init, called fini, or invalid node)

The returned string is only valid as long as the rcl_client_t is valid. The value of the string may change if the service name changes, and therefore copying the string is recommended if this is a concern.
