What purpose are thoese SERVER_PATH for?

[lida2003]

Hi

I'm building a similar test setup. This small program primarily retrieves IMU data from the serial port and publishes it to /chobits/imu.

However, I don't understand what the SERVER_PATH is mainly used for?

mavlink-udp-proxy/my_mavlink_udp.cpp

Lines 25 to 26 in 0891e92

	#define SERVER_PATH "/tmp/chobits_server"
	#define SERVER_PATH2 "/tmp/chobits_server2"

it is used for IPC

Which program is communicating through IPC? I didn't find the configuration in VINS-Mono.

a) I found SERVER_PATH2 "/tmp/chobits_server2", but I can't find SERVER_PATH "/tmp/chobits_server" in ego-planner.

b) "/tmp/chobits_server" is used for pos data; "/tmp/chobits_server2" is used for mav_sysid. From ego-planner, "/tmp/chobits_1236" is used for pos data. So I'm confused here.

Any tips?

It seems that "/tmp/chobits_server2" might be used for triggering predefined destination.
