+rospack is a command-line tool for retrieving information about ROS packages
+available on the filesystem. It implements a wide variety of commands ranging
+from locating ROS packages in the filesystem, to listing available stacks, to
+calculating the dependency tree of stacks. It is also used in the ROS build
+system for calculating build information for packages.
+
+For an equivalent tool for stacks, see rosstack.
