Hello

I was wondering if its possible to get a list of all services to which a node is connected, either as a client or as a server.

Somethis similar to ros::this_node::getSubscribedTopics()

http://docs.ros.org/electric/api/roscpp/html/namespaceros_1_1this__node.html#a81620bbd1e0a3196d694c38fbd4dea8a

Also, is it possible to know which parameters a node has read.

Thanks

Miguel Oliveira

Hi Miguel,

You need to call getSystemState(caller_id) from the ROS XMLRPC Master API, and it returns a list of all the subscribers, publishers, and services. The Master API documentation URL: wiki.ros.org/ROS/Master_API

Thanks,

Aaron

Your welcome! There are multiple deficiencies in the API related to Services. Including the inability to obtain the Service Topic Type, and the inability to request MD5 information for Topics/Services.
