SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       osmpbf-outline  generates  a colored outline of an .osm.pbf or .osh.pbf
15       file, revealing its inner structure.  It does not decode  all  informa‐
16       tion  nor  does  it check for of possible mistakes, but it will warn on
17       some bad mistakes one can make when generating .osm.pbf files.
18
19       This tool can be used by authors of .osm.pbf readers and writers and is
20       useful to understand the inner blob/block structure of .osm.pbf files.
21
22       Its  source code is heavily documented and can be used as a good start‐
23       ing point understanding on how to read and write  .osm.pbf  files  with
24       C++.

OPTIONS

28       -c, --color
29            usually colorization is disabled when writing to a file descriptor
30            that is not a tty (eg. when the output is piped to a file or to  a
31            pager like more or less). Some pagers can handle ANSI color code (
32            more can, less can when invoked as less -R ). To enforce coloriza‐
33            tion when working with such pagers, specify the --color flag.
