9 osmium add-locations-to-ways [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE...
10
12 Usually only nodes have locations and the ways refer to those locations
13 via the IDs of the nodes. This program will copy the input file(s) to
14 the output, taking the locations from the nodes and adding them to the
15 ways. This makes it easier for other programs to assemble the way
16 geometries.
17 The input file must contain all nodes needed for the ways, otherwise
19 there will be an error. You can change this behaviour using the
20 --ignore-missing-nodes option.
21 Nodes without any tags will not be copied (unless the --keep-untagged-
23 nodes/-n option is used). The size of the output file will be similar
24 or a bit smaller than the input file (unless the --keep-untagged-
25 nodes/-n option is used in which case it will be a lot bigger).
26 Note that the OSM files generated by this command use a non-standard
28 format extension.
29 The osmium add-locations-to-ways command has to keep an index of the
31 node locations in memory or in a temporary file on disk while doing its
32 work. There are several different ways it can do that which have dif‐
33 ferent advantages and disadvantages. The default is good enough for
34 most cases, but see the osmium-index-types(5) man page for details.
35 If the --keep-untagged-nodes/-n option is used, files created by this
37 command can be updated with the apply-changes command using the --loca‐
38 tions-on-ways option.
39 This command will not work on full history files.
41 This commands reads its input file(s) only once and writes its output
43 file in one go so it can be streamed, ie. it can read from STDIN and
44 write to STDOUT.
45
47 -i, --index-type=TYPE
48 Set the index type. For details see the osmium-index-types(5)
49 man page.
50 -I, --show-index-types
52 Shows a list of available index types. For details see the
53 osmium-index-types(5) man page.
54 -n, --keep-untagged-nodes
56 Keep the untagged nodes in the output file.
57 --ignore-missing-nodes
59 If this is not set a missing node needed for a way results in an
60 error. If this is set, errors are ignored and the way will have
61 an invalid location set for the missing node.
62
64 -h, --help
65 Show usage help.
66 -v, --verbose
68 Set verbose mode. The program will output information about
69 what it is doing to STDERR.
70 --progress
72 Show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is only displayed if
73 STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be TTY. With this option a
74 progress bar is always shown. Note that a progress bar will
75 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
76 --no-progress
78 Do not show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is displayed
79 if STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be a TTY. With this option
80 the progress bar is suppressed. Note that a progress bar will
81 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
82
84 -F, --input-format=FORMAT
85 The format of the input file(s). Can be used to set the input
86 format if it can’t be autodetected from the file name(s). This
87 will set the format for all input files, there is no way to set
88 the format for some input files only. See osmium-file-for‐
89 mats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.
90
92 -f, --output-format=FORMAT
93 The format of the output file. Can be used to set the output
94 file format if it can’t be autodetected from the output file
95 name. See osmium-file-formats(5) or the libosmium manual for
96 details.
97 --fsync
99 Call fsync after writing the output file to force flushing buf‐
100 fers to disk.
101 --generator=NAME
103 The name and version of the program generating the output file.
104 It will be added to the header of the output file. Default is
105 “osmium/” and the version of osmium.
106 -o, --output=FILE
108 Name of the output file. Default is `-' (STDOUT).
109 -O, --overwrite
111 Allow an existing output file to be overwritten. Normally
112 osmium will refuse to write over an existing file.
113 --output-header=OPTION=VALUE
115 Add output header option. This command line option can be used
116 multiple times for different OPTIONs. See the libosmium manual
117 for a list of available header options. For some commands you
118 can use the special format “OPTION!” (ie. an exclamation mark
119 after the OPTION and no value set) to set the value to the same
120 as in the input file.
121
123 osmium add-locations-to-ways exits with exit code
124 0 if everything went alright,
126 1 if there was an error processing the data, or
128 2 if there was a problem with the command line arguments.
130
132 osmium add-locations-to-ways will usually keep all node locations in
133 memory. For larger data files, this can need several tens of GBytes of
134 memory. See the osmium-index-types(5) man page for details.
135
137 Add node locations to an extract keeping all nodes:
138 osmium add-locations-to-ways -n -o germany-low.osm.pbf germany.osm.pbf
140 Add node locations to a planet file (without untagged nodes):
142 osmium add-locations-to-ways -i dense_mmap_array -o planet-low.osm.pbf planet.osm.pbf
