◆ rcl_remap_topic_name()

rcl_ret_t rcl_remap_topic_name	(	const rcl_arguments_t *	local_arguments,
		const rcl_arguments_t *	global_arguments,
		const char *	topic_name,
		const char *	node_name,
		const char *	node_namespace,
		rcl_allocator_t	allocator,
		char **	output_name
	)

Remap a topic name based on given rules.

The supplied topic name must have already been expanded to a fully qualified name.

See also: rcl_expand_topic_name()

If local_arguments is not NULL and not zero intialized then its remap rules are checked first. If no rules matched and global_arguments is not NULL and not zero intitialized then its rules are checked next. If both local_arguments and global_arguments are NULL or zero intialized then the function will return RCL_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

global_arguments is usually the arguments passed to rcl_init().

See also: rcl_init(); rcl_get_global_arguments()

Remap rules are checked in the order they were given. For rules passed to rcl_init this usually is the order they were passed on the command line.

See also: rcl_parse_arguments()

Only the first remap rule that matches is used to remap a name. For example, if the command line arguments are foo:=bar bar:=baz the topic foo is remapped to bar and not baz.

node_name and node_namespace are used to expand the match and replacement into fully qualified names. Given node_name trudy, namespace /ns, and rule foo:=~/bar the names in the rule are expanded to /ns/foo:=/ns/trudy/bar. The rule will only apply if the given topic name is /ns/foo.

node_name is also used to match against node specific rules. Given rules alice:foo:=bar foo:=baz, node name alice, and topic foo the remapped topic name will be bar. If given the node name bob and topic foo the remaped topic name would be baz instead. Note that processing always stops at the first matching rule even if there is a more specific one later on. Given foo:=bar alice:foo:=baz and topic name foo the remapped topic name will always be bar regardless of the node name given.

Parameters

[in]	local_arguments	Command line arguments to be used before global arguments, or if NULL or zero-initialized then only global arguments are used.
[in]	global_arguments	Command line arguments to use if no local rules matched, or `NULL` or zero-initialized to ignore global arguments.
[in]	topic_name	A fully qualified and expanded topic name to be remapped.
[in]	node_name	The name of the node to which name belongs.
[in]	node_namespace	The namespace of a node to which name belongs.
[in]	allocator	A valid allocator to use.
[out]	output_name	Either an allocated string with the remapped name, or `NULL` if no remap rules matched the name.

Returns: RCL_RET_OK if the topic name was remapped or no rules matched, or; RCL_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT if any arguments are invalid, or; RCL_RET_BAD_ALLOC if allocating memory failed, or; RCL_RET_TOPIC_NAME_INVALID if the given topic name is invalid, or; RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_remap_service_name()

rcl_ret_t rcl_remap_service_name	(	const rcl_arguments_t *	local_arguments,
		const rcl_arguments_t *	global_arguments,
		const char *	service_name,
		const char *	node_name,
		const char *	node_namespace,
		rcl_allocator_t	allocator,
		char **	output_name
	)

Remap a service name based on given rules.

The supplied service name must have already been expanded to a fully qualified name.

The behavior of this function is identical to rcl_expand_topic_name() except that it applies to service names instead of topic names.

Parameters

[in]	local_arguments	Command line arguments to be used before global arguments, or if NULL or zero-initialized then only global arguments are used.
[in]	global_arguments	Command line arguments to use if no local rules matched, or `NULL` or zero-initialized to ignore global arguments.
[in]	service_name	A fully qualified and expanded service name to be remapped.
[in]	node_name	The name of the node to which name belongs.
[in]	node_namespace	The namespace of a node to which name belongs.
[in]	allocator	A valid allocator to use.
[out]	output_name	Either an allocated string with the remapped name, or `NULL` if no remap rules matched the name.

Returns: RCL_RET_OK if the name was remapped or no rules matched, or; RCL_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT if any arguments are invalid, or; RCL_RET_BAD_ALLOC if allocating memory failed, or; RCL_RET_SERVICE_NAME_INVALID if the given name is invalid, or; RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_remap_node_name()

rcl_ret_t rcl_remap_node_name	(	const rcl_arguments_t *	local_arguments,
		const rcl_arguments_t *	global_arguments,
		const char *	node_name,
		rcl_allocator_t	allocator,
		char **	output_name
	)

Remap a node name based on given rules.

This function returns the node name that a node with the given name would be remapped to. When a node's name is remapped it changes its logger name and the output of expanding relative topic and service names.

When composing nodes make sure that the final node names used are unique per process. There is not currently a way to independently remap the names of two nodes that were created with the same node name and are manually composed into one process.

The behavior of local_arguments, global_arguments, node_name, the order remap rules are applied, and node specific rules is identical to rcl_remap_topic_name().

Parameters

[in]	local_arguments	Arguments to be used before global arguments.
[in]	global_arguments	Command line arguments to use if no local rules matched, or `NULL` or zero-initialized to ignore global arguments.
[in]	node_name	The current name of the node.
[in]	allocator	A valid allocator to use.
[out]	output_name	Either an allocated string with the remapped name, or `NULL` if no remap rules matched the name.

Returns: RCL_RET_OK If the name was remapped or no rules matched, or; RCL_RET_INVALID_ARGUMENT if any arguments are invalid, or; RCL_RET_BAD_ALLOC if allocating memory failed, or; RCL_RET_NODE_INVALID_NAME if the name is invalid, or; RCL_RET_ERROR if an unspecified error occurs.

◆ rcl_remap_node_namespace()

rcl_ret_t rcl_remap_node_namespace	(	const rcl_arguments_t *	local_arguments,
		const rcl_arguments_t *	global_arguments,
		const char *	node_name,
		rcl_allocator_t	allocator,
		char **	output_namespace
	)

Remap a namespace based on given rules.

This function returns the namespace that a node with the given name would be remapped to. When a node's namespace is remapped it changes its logger name and the output of expanding relative topic and service names.

The behavior of local_arguments, global_arguments, node_name, the order remap rules are applied, and node specific rules is identical to rcl_remap_topic_name().

Parameters

[in]	local_arguments	Arguments to be used before global arguments.
[in]	global_arguments	Command line arguments to use if no local rules matched, or `NULL` or zero-initialized to ignore global arguments.
[in]	node_name	The name of the node whose namespace is being remapped.
[in]	allocator	A valid allocator to be used.
[out]	output_namespace	Either an allocated string with the remapped namespace, or `NULL` if no remap rules matched the name.
