- Think of it as a FAQ implemented in code.
+Description: Tool for diagnosing issues with a running ROS system
+ roswtf looks for many, many things, and the list is always growing. There
+ are two categories of what it looks for: file-system issues and online/graph
+ issues.
+ .
+ For file-system issues, roswtf looks at your environment variables, package
+ configurations, stack configurations, and more. It can also take in a
+ roslaunch file and attempt to find any potential configuration issues in it,
+ such as packages that haven't been built properly.
+ .
+ For online issues, roswtf examines the state of your current graph and tries
+ to find any potential issues. These issues might be unresponsive nodes,
+ missing connections between nodes, or potential machine-configuration issues
+ with roslaunch.
