6 osmium-add-locations-to-ways - add node locations to ways in OSM file

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
23 –keep-untagged-nodes, -n option is used). The size of the output file
24 will be similar or a bit smaller than the input file (unless the
25 –keep-untagged-nodes, -n option is used in which case it will be a lot
26 bigger).
27 Note that the OSM files generated by this command use a non-standard
29 format extension.
30 The osmium add-locations-to-ways command has to keep an index of the
32 node locations in memory or in a temporary file on disk while doing its
33 work. There are several different ways it can do that which have dif‐
34 ferent advantages and disadvantages. The default is good enough for
35 most cases, but see the osmium-index-types(5) man page for details.
36 If the –keep-untagged-nodes, -n option is used, files created by this
38 command can be updated with the apply-changes command using the –loca‐
39 tions-on-ways option.
40 This command will not work on full history files.
42 This commands reads its input file(s) only once and writes its output
44 file in one go so it can be streamed, ie. it can read from STDIN and
45 write to STDOUT.
46
48 -i, –index-type=TYPE
49 Set the index type. For details see the osmium-index-types(5)
50 man page.
51 -I, –show-index-types
53 Shows a list of available index types. For details see the
54 osmium-index-types(5) man page.
55 -n, –keep-untagged-nodes
57 Keep the untagged nodes in the output file.
58 –ignore-missing-nodes
60 If this is not set a missing node needed for a way results in an
61 error. If this is set, errors are ignored and the way will have
62 an invalid location set for the missing node.
63
65 -h, –help
66 Show usage help.
67 -v, –verbose
69 Set verbose mode. The program will output information about
70 what it is doing to STDERR.
71 –progress
73 Show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is only displayed if
74 STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be TTY. With this option a
75 progress bar is always shown. Note that a progress bar will
76 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
77 –no-progress
79 Do not show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is displayed
80 if STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be a TTY. With this option
81 the progress bar is suppressed. Note that a progress bar will
82 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
83
85 -F, –input-format=FORMAT
86 The format of the input file(s). Can be used to set the input
87 format if it can't be autodetected from the file name(s). This
88 will set the format for all input files, there is no way to set
89 the format for some input files only. See osmium-file-for‐
90 mats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.
91
93 -f, –output-format=FORMAT
94 The format of the output file. Can be used to set the output
95 file format if it can't be autodetected from the output file
96 name. See osmium-file-formats(5) or the libosmium manual for
97 details.
98 –fsync 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
115 Add output header option. This option can be given several
116 times. See the libosmium manual for a list of allowed header
117 options.
118
120 osmium add-locations-to-ways exits with exit code
121 0 if everything went alright,
123 1 if there was an error processing the data, or
125 2 if there was a problem with the command line arguments.
127
129 osmium add-locations-to-ways will usually keep all node locations in
130 memory. For larger data files, this can need several tens of GBytes of
131 memory. See the osmium-index-types(5) man page for details.
132
134 Add node locations to an extract keeping all nodes:
135 osmium add-locations-to-ways -n -o germany-low.osm.pbf germany.osm.pbf
137 Add node locations to a planet file (without untagged nodes):
139 osmium add-locations-to-ways -i dense_mmap_array -o planet-low.osm.pbf planet.osm.pbf
