🎀 GAZEBO(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the gazebo page from the General Commands Manual 💖 she's iconic, she runs simulations, and she's about to be your whole personality. let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

gazebo — Run the Gazebo server and GUI.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gazebo options world_file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. the Gazebo server is the one doing the actual work — she runs the simulation, she handles the commandline options, she starts a Master, and she keeps the World update loop and the sensor generation loop spinning. no cap, she's the main character here. 💅

and then, because she's generous, this also starts up the Gazebo GUI client in a separate process. two of them, bestie. a whole duo. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v, --version — spits out the version info. cute, quick, done. ✨
  • --verbose — makes her talk MORE. increases the messages written to the terminal. 🗣️
  • -h, --help — produces this help message. the classic "bestie explain urself" button. 🙈
  • -u, --pause — starts the server in a paused state. she's just gonna sit there, unbothered. ⏸️
  • -e, --physics arg — pick your physics engine: ode|bullet|dart|simbody. choose wisely, they're all baddies in their own way. 🔥
  • -p, --play arg — play a log file. like pressing play on a lil simulation mixtape. 🎵
  • -r, --record — record state data. she's filming. 📹
  • --record_encoding arg (=zlib) — compression encoding format for log data: zlib|bz2|txt. defaults to zlib, lowkey the sensible one. 💖
  • --record_path arg — the absolute path where you want to store state data. absolute, bestie. no shortcuts. 📁
  • --record_period arg (=-1) — recording period, in seconds. defaults to -1. ⏱️
  • --record_filter arg — recording filter, and yes she supports wildcard and regular expression. fancy fr fr. 🎀
  • --record_resources — record with model meshes and materials included. the full glam, not just the silhouette. ✨
  • --seed arg — start with a given random number seed. manifest your randomness. 🌈
  • --iters arg — number of iterations to simulate. how many laps, babe? 🔁
  • --minimal_comms — reduce the TCP/IP traffic output by gazebo. she's going quiet mode. 🤫
  • -g, --gui-plugin arg — load a System plugin. deprecated ⚠️ — she's still here but she's retired, know that.
  • --gui-client-plugin arg — load a GUI plugin. the current one. the it-girl. 👑
  • -s, --server-plugin arg — load a server plugin. 🖥️
  • -o, --profile arg — physics preset profile name, pulled from the options in the world file. 🌍
  • --lockstep — lockstep simulation so sensor update rates are respected. everyone moves together, no stragglers. 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
