osmosis − command line OpenStreetMap data processor
osmosis [−−command command parameters ...] ... |
This manual page documents briefly the osmosis command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
osmosis is a command line Java application for processing OSM data. The tool consists of pluggable components that can be chained to perform a larger operation. For example, it has components for reading/writing databases and files, deriving/applying changes to data sources, and sorting data, (etc.). It has been written to easily add new features without re−writing common tasks such as file and database handling.
Some examples of the things it can currently do are:
• Generate planet dumps from a database
• Load planet dumps into a database
• Produce change sets using database history tables
• Apply change sets to a local database
• Compare two planet dump files and produce a change set
• Re−sort the data contained in planet dump files
• Extract data inside a bounding box or polygon
The commands and arguments accepted by osmosis are described in details and shown in examples in the page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis and its subpages.
The upstreams BTS can be found at https://trac.openstreetmap.org/query?component=osmosis. Bugs are also discussed on upstream mailing list, at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmosis-dev.
