== Overview ==

`rosstack` is a command-line tool for retrieving information about ROS [[Stacks|stacks]] available on the filesystem. It implements a wide variety of commands ranging from locating ROS stacks in the filesystem, to listing available stacks, to calculating the dependency tree of stacks. It is also used in the ROS [[ROS/BuildSystem|build system]] for calculating build information for stacks.

For an equivalent tool for [[Packages|packages]], see [[rospack]].

Prior to Fuerte, rosstack was included in the [[ros]] stack. Since Fuerte, it is a standalone tool.

Documentation is available [[http://ros.org/doc/api/rospkg/html/rosstack.html|here]].
