Clarify the documentation for method getNumSubscribers() #22
Description
This is an enhancement issue based on the discussions about this question: http://answers.ros.org/question/11167/how-do-i-publish-exactly-one-message
The method getNumSubscribers() returns the number of subscribers that are currently connected to the local publisher, and not the total number of subscribers for that topic.
The documentation should be clarified to avoid misinterpretations. Also, it could link to a method that would return the total number of subscribers for that topic.
