rosservice command-line tool

The rosservice command implements a variety of commands that let you discover which services are currently online from which nodes and further drill down to get specific information about a service, such as its type, URI, and arguments. You can also call a service directly from the command line.

The currently supported commands are:

rosservice call call the service with the provided args
rosservice find find services by service type
rosservice info print information about service
rosservice list list active services
rosservice type print service type
rosservice uri  print service ROSRPC uri

rosservice args

rosservice call

YAML syntax

Please see YAML command line for a detailed description and examples of how to specify service arguments to call.

Negative numbers

Please see YAML command line for a detailed description and examples of how to call rosservice with negative-number arguments.

rosservice find

rosservice list

rosservice info (ROS 0.11)

Roadmap

rosservice is a stable command-line tool within the ROS core toolchain. It's currently feature set is not expected expand much. Currently, the only major feature planned is the ability to use YAML text files as well as piped YAML input with the rosservice call command. This feature is currently not scheduled.
