roslaunch.parent providees the L{ROSLaunchParent} implementation, which represents the main 'parent' roslaunch process.
ROSLaunch has a client/server architecture for running remote processes. When a user runs roslaunch, this creates a "parent" roslaunch process, which is responsible for managing local processes. This parent process will also start "child" processes on remote machines. The parent can then invoke methods on this child process to launch remote processes, and the child can invoke methods on the parent to provide feedback.

ROSLaunchParent represents the main 'parent' roslaunch process. It is responsible for loading the launch files, assigning machines, and then starting up any remote processes. The __main__ method delegates most of runtime to ROSLaunchParent. |
