Classes

class  AdvertiseMessageOptions
 A class for customizing the publication options for a topic advertised. E.g.: Set the rate of messages per second published. More...
 
class  AdvertiseOptions
 A class for customizing the publication options for a topic or service advertised. E.g.: Set the scope of a topic/service. More...
 
class  AdvertiseServiceOptions
 A class for customizing the publication options for a service advertised. More...
 
class  Clock
 A Clock interface for time tracking. More...
 
class  Discovery
 A discovery class that implements a distributed topic discovery protocol. It uses UDP multicast for sending/receiving messages and stores updated topic information. The discovery clients can request the discovery of a topic or the advertisement of a local topic. The discovery uses heartbeats to track the state of other peers in the network. The discovery clients can register callbacks to detect when new topics are discovered or topics are no longer available. More...
 
class  HandlerStorage
 Class to store and manage service call handlers. More...
 
class  IRepHandler
 Interface class used to manage a replier handler. More...
 
class  IReqHandler
 Interface class used to manage a request handler. More...
 
class  ISubscriptionHandler
 Interface class used to manage generic protobuf messages. More...
 
class  MessageInfo
 A class that provides information about the message received. More...
 
class  MessagePublisher
 This class stores all the information about a message publisher. More...
 
class  NetworkClock
 A Clock interface implementation that uses gz::msgs::Clock messages distributed across the network. More...
 
class  Node
 A class that allows a client to communicate with other peers. There are two main communication modes: pub/sub messages and service calls. More...
 
class  NodeOptions
 A class for customizing the behavior of the Node. E.g.: Set a custom namespace or a partition name. More...
 
class  NodeShared
 Private data for the Node class. This class should not be directly used. You should use the Node class. More...
 
class  Publisher
 This class stores all the information about a publisher. It stores the topic name that publishes, addresses, UUIDs, scope, etc. More...
 
class  RawSubscriptionHandler
 
class  RepHandler
 with the service response. More...
 
class  ReqHandler
 It creates a reply handler for the specific protobuf messages used. 'Req' is a protobuf message type containing the input parameters of the service request. 'Rep' is a protobuf message type that will be filled with the service response. More...
 
class  ReqHandler< google::protobuf::Message, google::protobuf::Message >
 
class  ServicePublisher
 This class stores all the information about a service publisher. More...
 
class  Statistics
 Computes the rolling average, min, max, and standard deviation for a set of samples. More...
 
class  SubscribeOptions

class  SubscriptionHandler
 It creates a subscription handler for a specific protobuf message. 'T' is the Protobuf message type that will be used for this particular handler. More...
 
class  SubscriptionHandler< ProtoMsg >
 Specialized template when the user prefers a callbacks that accepts a generic google::protobuf::message instead of a specific type. More...
 
class  SubscriptionHandlerBase
 SubscriptionHandlerBase contains functions and data which are common to all SubscriptionHandler types. More...
 
class  TopicStatistics
 Encapsulates statistics for a single topic. The set of statistics include: More...
 
class  TopicStorage

Function Documentation

◆ determineHost()

std::string ignition::transport::determineHost ( )

Determine IP or hostname. Reference: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/blob/hydro-devel/clients/ roscpp/src/libros/network.cpp.

Returns
The IP or hostname of this host.

◆ determineInterfaces()

std::vector<std::string> ignition::transport::determineInterfaces ( )

Determine the list of network interfaces for this machine. Reference: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/blob/hydro-devel/clients/ roscpp/src/libros/network.cpp.

Returns
The list of network interfaces.

Referenced by Discovery< Pub >::Discovery().

◆ env()

bool ignition::transport::env ( const std::string _name,
std::string _value 
)

Find the environment variable '_name' and return its value.

Parameters
[in]_nameName of the environment variable.
[out]_valueValue if the variable was found.
Returns
True if the variable was found or false otherwise.

Referenced by Discovery< Pub >::Discovery().

◆ getProcessId()

unsigned int ignition::transport::getProcessId ( )

Portable function to get the id of the current process.

Returns
id of current process

◆ hostname()

std::string ignition::transport::hostname ( )

Determine the computer's hostname.

Returns
The computer's hostname.

◆ hostnameToIp()

int ignition::transport::hostnameToIp ( char *  _hostname,
std::string _ip 
)

Determine if an IP is private.

Parameters
[in]_hostnameHostname
[out]_ipIP associated to the input hostname.
Returns
0 when success.

◆ isPrivateIP()

bool ignition::transport::isPrivateIP ( const char *  _ip)

Determine if an IP is private. Reference: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/blob/hydro-devel/clients/ roscpp/src/libros/network.cpp.

Parameters
[in]_ipInput IP address.
Returns
true if the IP address is private.

◆ pollSockets()

bool ignition::transport::pollSockets ( const std::vector< int > &  _sockets,
const int  _timeout 
)

◆ rcvHwm()

int ignition::transport::rcvHwm ( )

Get the capacity of the buffer (High Water Mark) that stores incoming Ignition Transport messages. Note that this is a global queue shared by all subscribers within the same process.

Returns
The capacity of the buffer storing incoming messages (units are messages). A value of 0 indicates an unlimited buffer and -1 that the socket cannot be queried. The default buffer size is contained in the kDefaultRcvHwm variable. If the buffer is set to unlimited, then your buffer will grow until you run out of memory (and probably crash). If your buffer reaches the maximum capacity data will be dropped.

◆ sndHwm()

int ignition::transport::sndHwm ( )

Get the capacity of the buffer (High Water Mark) that stores outgoing Ignition Transport messages. Note that this is a global queue shared by all publishers within the same process.

Returns
The capacity of the buffer storing outgoing messages (units are messages). A value of 0 indicates an unlimited buffer and -1 that the socket cannot be queried. The default buffer size is contained in the kDefaultSndHwm variable. If the buffer is set to unlimited, then your buffer will grow until you run out of memory (and probably crash). If your buffer reaches the maximum capacity data will be dropped.

◆ split()

std::vector<std::string> ignition::transport::split ( const std::string _orig,
char  _delim 
)

split at a one character delimiter to get a vector of something

Parameters
[in]_origThe string to split
[in]_delima character to split the string at
Returns
vector of split pieces of the string excluding the delimiter

Referenced by Discovery< Pub >::Discovery().

◆ username()

std::string ignition::transport::username ( )

Determine your login name.

Returns
Name used to gain access to the computer. On linux and Mac only, if determination of your login name failes then a string of the form "error-UUID" is returned where UUID is a universally unique identifier.

◆ waitForShutdown()

void ignition::transport::waitForShutdown ( )

Block the current thread until a SIGINT or SIGTERM is received. Note that this function registers a signal handler. Do not use this function if you want to manage yourself SIGINT/SIGTERM.
