In addition to using rxconsole or manually using ros::this_node::getName(), there&#39;s an accidentally undocumented feature in cturtle that lets you specify an environment variable format string, e.g.:<div><br></div><div>

export ROSCONSOLE_FORMAT=&#39;[${severity}] [${time}]: ${message}&#39;</div><div><br></div><div>This is the default if unspecified.  You can use ${node} to add the node name, e.g.:</div><div><br></div><div>export ROSCONSOLE_FORMAT=&#39;[${severity}] [${time}] ${node}: ${message}&#39;</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m documenting this on the rosconsole page now, but the current possible formatting options are:</div><div>severity</div><div>message</div><div>time</div><div>thread</div><div>logger</div><div>file</div>

<br>
Can I access the name of a node from inside a cpp program? I know that<br>
one of the argv** arguments passed through the program is<br>
&quot;__name:=FOO&quot;. Is there an easier way to access that, without having<br>
to parse through the argv values?<br>
<br>
What I am eventually interested in is having the name of the node<br>
prepended to ROS_INFO statements. I was going to do it manually by<br>
finding the name of the node and doing<br>
<br>
ROS_INFO(&quot;%s: Some message here.&quot;, nodeName_);<br>
<br>
Which would result in<br>
<br>
FOO: Some message here.<br>
<br>
If someone has a suggestion for a cleaner way to do this, let me know please!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
