6 osmium-time-filter - filter OSM data by time from a history file
7
9 osmium time-filter [OPTIONS] OSM-HISTORY-FILE [TIME]
10 osmium time-filter [OPTIONS] OSM-HISTORY-FILE FROM-TIME TO-TIME
11
13 Copy all objects that were valid at the given TIME or in the time pe‐
14 riod between FROM-TIME (inclusive) and TO-TIME (not inclusive) from the
15 input file into the output file. If no time is given, the current time
16 is used.
17
18 Usually the INPUT-FILE will be an OSM data file with history. If both
19 FROM-TIME and TO-TIME are given, the result will also have history
20 data, it will also include deleted versions of objects.
21
22 If only a single point in time was given, the result will be a normal
23 OSM file without history containing no deleted objects.
24
25 The format for the timestamps is “yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ”.
26
27 This commands reads its input file only once and writes its output file
28 in one go so it can be streamed, ie. it can read from STDIN and write
29 to STDOUT.
30
32 -h, --help
33 Show usage help.
34
35 -v, --verbose
36 Set verbose mode. The program will output information about
37 what it is doing to STDERR.
38
39 --progress
40 Show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is only displayed if
41 STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be TTY. With this option a
42 progress bar is always shown. Note that a progress bar will
43 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
44
45 --no-progress
46 Do not show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is displayed
47 if STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be a TTY. With this option
48 the progress bar is suppressed. Note that a progress bar will
49 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
50
52 -F, --input-format=FORMAT
53 The format of the input file(s). Can be used to set the input
54 format if it can’t be autodetected from the file name(s). This
55 will set the format for all input files, there is no way to set
56 the format for some input files only. See osmium-file-for‐
57 mats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.
58
60 -f, --output-format=FORMAT
61 The format of the output file. Can be used to set the output
62 file format if it can’t be autodetected from the output file
63 name. See osmium-file-formats(5) or the libosmium manual for
64 details.
65
66 --fsync
67 Call fsync after writing the output file to force flushing buf‐
68 fers to disk.
69
70 --generator=NAME
71 The name and version of the program generating the output file.
72 It will be added to the header of the output file. Default is
73 “osmium/” and the version of osmium.
74
75 -o, --output=FILE
76 Name of the output file. Default is `-' (STDOUT).
77
78 -O, --overwrite
79 Allow an existing output file to be overwritten. Normally os‐
80 mium will refuse to write over an existing file.
81
82 --output-header=OPTION=VALUE
83 Add output header option. This command line option can be used
84 multiple times for different OPTIONs. See the osmium-output-
85 headers(5) man page for a list of available header options. For
86 some commands you can use the special format “OPTION!” (ie. an
87 exclamation mark after the OPTION and no value set) to set the
88 value to the same as in the input file.
89
91 osmium time-filter exits with exit code
92
93 0 if everything went alright,
94
95 1 if there was an error processing the data, or
96
97 2 if there was a problem with the command line arguments.
98
100 osmium time-filter does all its work on the fly and doesn’t keep much
101 data in main memory.

104 Extract current planet file from history planet:
105
106 osmium time-filter -o planet.osm.pbf history-planet.osh.pbf
107
108 Extract planet data how it appeared on January 1 2008 from history
109 planet:
110
