ament_index is part of ROS 2, the Robot Operating System. The ament
resource index is used to quickly query installed packages and some ROS system
properties by reading files from well-defined locations.
The ament resource index is looked for in all prefixes which are listed in the
environment variable
AMENT_PREFIX_PATH and, for Debian, in
/usr,
unless the special environment variable
AMENT_PREFIX_NO_IMPLICIT_USR is
set to a non-empty value. The resource files can be found under
share/ament_index/resource_index/resource-type/resource-name
