init() shouldn&#39;t be blocking -- if it does it&#39;s a bug.  It&#39;s designed this way so you can call ros::master::check().  Creation of the first NodeHandle or calling start() should be what&#39;s blocking.<br><br>Josh<br>

 Hi,<br>
<br>
I would like to know if there is a way to call ros::init and not block untill<br>
a ros::master is available but just return an error or the like if a<br>
ros::master is not available so that my code can continue.<br>
<br>
