Function rcl_node_get_name

• Defined in File node.h

Function Documentation

const char *rcl_node_get_name(const rcl_node_t *node)

Return the name of the node.

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

• node is NULL

• node has not been initialized (the implementation is invalid)

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