6 osmium-removeid - remove objects from OSM file by ID
7
9 osmium removeid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE ID...
10 osmium removeid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -i ID-FILE
11 osmium removeid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -I ID-OSM-FILE
12
14 Copy input file to output removing objects with the specified IDs.
15 IDs can be given on the command line (first case in synopsis), or read
17 from text files with one ID per line (second case in synopsis), or read
18 from OSM files (third cases in synopsis). A mixture of these cases is
19 also allowed.
20 Objects will be written out in the order they are found in the OSM-
22 FILE. The input file is only read once, reading from STDIN is possible
23 by using the special file name `-'.
24 On the command line or in the ID file, the IDs have the form: TYPE-LET‐
26 TER NUMBER. The type letter is `n' for nodes, `w' for ways, and `r'
27 for relations. If there is no type letter, `n' for nodes is assumed
28 (or whatever the --default-type option says). So “n13 w22 17 r21” will
29 match the nodes 13 and 17, the way 22 and the relation 21.
30 The order in which the IDs appear does not matter. Identical IDs can
32 appear multiple times on the command line or in the ID file(s).
33 On the command line, the list of IDs can be in separate arguments or in
35 a single argument separated by spaces, tabs, commas (,), semicolons
36 (;), forward slashes (/) or pipe characters (|).
37 In an ID file (option --id-file/-i) each line must start with an ID in
39 the format described above. Leading space characters in the line are
40 ignored. Lines can optionally contain a space character or a hash sign
41 (`#') after the ID. Any characters after that are ignored. (This also
42 allows files in OPL format to be read.) Empty lines are ignored.
43 Note that all objects will be taken from the OSM-FILE, the ID-OSM-FILE
45 is only used to detect which objects to remove.
46 The OSM-FILE can be a history file in which case all versions of the
48 objects with the specified IDs will be removed.
49 This command will not work with negative IDs.
51
53 --default-type=TYPE
54 Use TYPE (`node', `way', or `relation') for IDs without a type
55 prefix (default: `node'). It is also allowed to just use the
56 first character of the type here.
57 -i, --id-file[=FILE]
59 Read IDs from text file instead of from the command line. Use
60 the special name “-” to read from STDIN. Each line of the file
61 must start with an ID in the format described above. Lines can
62 optionally contain a space character or a hash sign (`#') after
63 the ID. This character and all following characters are ig‐
64 nored. (This allows files in OPL format to be read.) Empty
65 lines are also ignored. This option can be used multiple times.
66 -I, --id-osm-file=OSMFILE
68 Like --id-file/-i but get the IDs from an OSM file. This option
69 can be used multiple times.
70
72 -h, --help
73 Show usage help.
74 -v, --verbose
76 Set verbose mode. The program will output information about
77 what it is doing to STDERR.
78 --progress
80 Show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is only displayed if
81 STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be TTY. With this option a
82 progress bar is always shown. Note that a progress bar will
83 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
84 --no-progress
86 Do not show progress bar. Usually a progress bar is displayed
87 if STDOUT and STDERR are detected to be a TTY. With this option
88 the progress bar is suppressed. Note that a progress bar will
89 never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.
90
92 -F, --input-format=FORMAT
93 The format of the input file(s). Can be used to set the input
94 format if it can’t be autodetected from the file name(s). This
95 will set the format for all input files, there is no way to set
96 the format for some input files only. See osmium-file-for‐
97 mats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.
98
100 -f, --output-format=FORMAT
101 The format of the output file. Can be used to set the output
102 file format if it can’t be autodetected from the output file
103 name. See osmium-file-formats(5) or the libosmium manual for
104 details.
105 --fsync
107 Call fsync after writing the output file to force flushing buf‐
108 fers to disk.
109 --generator=NAME
111 The name and version of the program generating the output file.
112 It will be added to the header of the output file. Default is
113 “osmium/” and the version of osmium.
114 -o, --output=FILE
116 Name of the output file. Default is `-' (STDOUT).
117 -O, --overwrite
119 Allow an existing output file to be overwritten. Normally os‐
120 mium will refuse to write over an existing file.
121 --output-header=OPTION=VALUE
123 Add output header option. This command line option can be used
124 multiple times for different OPTIONs. See the osmium-output-
125 headers(5) man page for a list of available header options. For
126 some commands you can use the special format “OPTION!” (ie. an
127 exclamation mark after the OPTION and no value set) to set the
128 value to the same as in the input file.
129
131 osmium removeid exits with exit code
132 0 if nothing went wrong
134 2 if there was a problem with the command line arguments.
136
138 osmium removeid does all its work on the fly and only keeps a table of
139 all IDs it needs in main memory.
140
142 Output all nodes except nodes 17 and 1234, all ways except way 42, and
143 all relations except relation 111 to STDOUT in OPL format:
144 osmium removeid -f opl planet.osm.pbf n1234 w42 n17 r111
