Detailed Description

Contains functions which allow you to query information about the master.

Typedef Documentation

◆ V_TopicInfo

typedef std::vector<TopicInfo> ros::master::V_TopicInfo

Definition at line 99 of file master.h.

Function Documentation

◆ check()

bool ros::master::check ( )

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 115 of file master.cpp.

◆ execute()

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 175 of file master.cpp.

◆ getHost()

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

Get the hostname where the master runs.

Returns
The master's hostname, as a string

Definition at line 90 of file master.cpp.

◆ getNodes()

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

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

Definition at line 142 of file master.cpp.

◆ getPort()

uint32_t ros::master::getPort ( )

Get the port where the master runs.

Returns
The master's port.

Definition at line 95 of file master.cpp.

◆ getTopics()

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 122 of file master.cpp.

◆ getURI()

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

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

Definition at line 100 of file master.cpp.

◆ init()

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

Definition at line 50 of file master.cpp.

◆ setRetryTimeout()

void ros::master::setRetryTimeout ( ros::WallDuration  timeout)

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 105 of file master.cpp.

std::string ros::master::g_host

Definition at line 46 of file master.cpp.

◆ g_port

uint32_t ros::master::g_port = 0

Definition at line 45 of file master.cpp.

◆ g_retry_timeout

ros::WallDuration ros::master::g_retry_timeout

Definition at line 48 of file master.cpp.

◆ g_uri

std::string ros::master::g_uri

Definition at line 47 of file master.cpp.
