Function Documentation

◆ rcl_logging_rosout_init()

rcl_ret_t rcl_logging_rosout_init ( const rcl_allocator_t allocator)

Initializes the rcl_logging_rosout features.

Calling this will initialize the rcl_logging_rosout features. This function must be called before any other rcl_logging_rosout_* functions can be called.


Attribute Adherence
Allocates Memory Yes
Thread-Safe No
Uses Atomics No
Lock-Free Yes
Parameters
[in]allocatorThe allocator used for metadata related to the rcl_logging_rosout features
Returns
RCL_RET_OK if the rcl_logging_rosout features are successfully initialized, or
RCL_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT if any arguments are invalid, or
RCL_RET_BAD_ALLOC if allocating memory failed, or
RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_logging_rosout_fini()

rcl_ret_t rcl_logging_rosout_fini ( )

Uninitializes the rcl_logging_rosout features.

Calling this will set the rcl_logging_rosout features into the an unitialized state that is functionally the same as before rcl_logging_rosout_init was called.


Attribute Adherence
Allocates Memory Yes
Thread-Safe No
Uses Atomics No
Lock-Free Yes
Returns
RCL_RET_OK if the rcl_logging_rosout feature was successfully unitialized, or
RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_logging_rosout_init_publisher_for_node()

rcl_ret_t rcl_logging_rosout_init_publisher_for_node ( rcl_node_t node)

Creates a rosout publisher for a node and registers it to be used by the logging system.

Calling this for an rcl_node_t will create a new publisher on that node that will be used by the logging system to publish all log messages from that Node's logger.

If a publisher already exists for this node then a new publisher will NOT be created.

It is expected that after creating a rosout publisher with this function rcl_logging_destroy_rosout_publisher_for_node() will be called for the node to cleanup the publisher while the Node is still valid.


Attribute Adherence
Allocates Memory Yes
Thread-Safe No
Uses Atomics No
Lock-Free Yes
Parameters
[in]nodea valid rcl_node_t that the publisher will be created on
Returns
RCL_RET_OK if the logging publisher was created successfully, or
RCL_RET_NODE_INVALID if the argument is invalid, or
RCL_RET_BAD_ALLOC if allocating memory failed, or
RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_logging_rosout_fini_publisher_for_node()

rcl_ret_t rcl_logging_rosout_fini_publisher_for_node ( rcl_node_t node)

Deregisters a rosout publisher for a node and cleans up allocated resources.

Calling this for an rcl_node_t will destroy the rosout publisher on that node and remove it from the logging system so that no more Log messages are published to this function.


Attribute Adherence
Allocates Memory Yes
Thread-Safe No
Uses Atomics No
Lock-Free Yes
Parameters
[in]nodea valid rcl_node_t that the publisher will be created on
Returns
RCL_RET_OK if the logging publisher was finalized successfully, or
RCL_RET_NODE_INVALID if any arguments are invalid, or
RCL_RET_BAD_ALLOC if allocating memory failed, or
RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_logging_rosout_output_handler()

void rcl_logging_rosout_output_handler ( const rcutils_log_location_t location,
int  severity,
const char *  name,
rcutils_time_point_value_t  timestamp,
const char *  format,
va_list args 
)

The output handler outputs log messages to rosout topics.

When called with a logger name and log message this function will attempt to find a rosout publisher correlated with the logger name and publish a Log message out via that publisher. If there is no publisher directly correlated with the logger then nothing will be done.

This function is meant to be registered with the logging functions for rcutils


Attribute Adherence
Allocates Memory Yes
Thread-Safe No
Uses Atomics No
Lock-Free Yes
Parameters
[in]locationThe pointer to the location struct or NULL
[in]severityThe severity level
[in]nameThe name of the logger, must be null terminated c string
[in]timestampThe timestamp for when the log message was made
[in]formatThe list of arguments to insert into the formatted log message
[in]argsargument for the string format
