<> == Overview == `rospack` is a command-line tool for retrieving information about ROS [[Packages|packages]] available on the filesystem. It implements a wide variety of commands ranging from locating ROS packages in the filesystem, listing available packages, to calculating the dependency tree of packages. It is also used in the ROS [[ROS/BuildSystem|build system]] for calculating build information for packages. For an equivalent tool for [[Stacks|stacks]], see [[rosstack]]. Prior to ROS [[fuerte|Fuerte]], `rospack` was included in the [[ros]] stack. Since Fuerte, it is a standalone tool. Documentation is available [[http://ros.org/doc/independent/api/rospkg/html/rospack.html|here]].
