NAME
       osmium-getparents - get parents of objects from OSM file


SYNOPSIS
       osmium getparents [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE ID...
       osmium getparents [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -i ID-FILE
       osmium getparents [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -I ID-OSM-FILE


DESCRIPTION
       Get  objects  referencing the objects with the specified IDs from the input and write them
       to the output.  So this will get ways referencing  any  of  the  specified  node  IDs  and
       relations  referencing  any  specified  node,  way,  or  relation  IDs.  Only one level of
       indirection is resolved,  so  no  relations  of  relations  are  found  and  no  relations
       referencing ways referencing the specified node IDs.

       IDs can be specified on the command line (first case in synopsis), or read from text files
       with one ID per line (second case in synopsis), or read from OSM  files  (third  cases  in
       synopsis).  A mixture of these cases is also allowed.

       All  objects  with these IDs will be read from OSM-FILE and written to the output.  If the
       option --add-self/-s is specified, the objects with the specified IDs themselves will also
       be added to the output.

       Objects will be written out in the order they are found in the OSM-FILE.

       The input file is read only once.

       On  the  command  line  or in the ID file, the IDs have the form: TYPE-LETTER NUMBER.  The
       type letter is `n' for nodes, `w' for ways, and `r' for relations.  If there  is  no  type
       letter,  `n'  for  nodes is assumed (or whatever the --default-type option says).  So “n13
       w22 17 r21” will match the nodes 13 and 17, the way 22 and the relation 21.

       The order in which the IDs appear does not matter.   Identical  IDs  can  appear  multiple
       times on the command line or in the ID file(s).

       On  the command line, the list of IDs can be in separate arguments or in a single argument
       separated by spaces, tabs, commas  (,),  semicolons  (;),  forward  slashes  (/)  or  pipe
       characters (|).

       In  an  ID  file  (option  --id-file/-i)  each  line  must  start with an ID in the format
       described above.  Leading space characters in the line are ignored.  Lines can  optionally
       contain  a  space  character or a hash sign (`#') after the ID.  Any characters after that
       are ignored.  (This also allows files in OPL format to be read.) Empty lines are ignored.

       Note that all objects will be taken from the OSM-FILE, the ID-OSM-FILE  is  only  used  to
       detect  which objects to get.  This might matter if there are different object versions in
       the different files.

       The OSM-FILE can be a history file, then all matching versions  of  the  objects  will  be
       copied to the output.

       This command will not work with negative IDs.


OPTIONS
       --default-type=TYPE
              Use  TYPE  (`node',  `way',  or `relation') for IDs without a type prefix (default:
              `node').  It is also allowed to just use the first character of the type here.

       -i, --id-file[=FILE]
              Read IDs from text file instead of from the command line.  Use the special name “-”
              to  read  from  STDIN.   Each  line of the file must start with an ID in the format
              described above.  Lines can optionally contain a space character  or  a  hash  sign
              (`#')  after  the  ID.   This  character  and all following characters are ignored.
              (This allows files in OPL format to be read.) Empty lines are also  ignored.   This
              option can be used multiple times.

       -I, --id-osm-file=OSMFILE
              Like -i but get the IDs from an OSM file.  This option can be used multiple times.

       -s, --add-self
              Also add all objects with the specified IDs to the output.

       --verbose-ids
              Also  print all requested IDs.  This is usually disabled, because the lists can get
              quite long.  (This option implies --verbose.)


COMMON OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Show usage help.

       -v, --verbose
              Set verbose mode.  The program will output information about what it  is  doing  to
              STDERR.

       --progress
              Show  progress  bar.  Usually a progress bar is only displayed if STDOUT and STDERR
              are detected to be TTY.  With this option a progress bar  is  always  shown.   Note
              that a progress bar will never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.

       --no-progress
              Do not show progress bar.  Usually a progress bar is displayed if STDOUT and STDERR
              are detected to be a TTY.  With this option the progress bar is  suppressed.   Note
              that a progress bar will never be shown when reading from STDIN or a pipe.


INPUT OPTIONS
       -F, --input-format=FORMAT
              The  format  of the input file(s).  Can be used to set the input format if it can’t
              be autodetected from the file name(s).  This will set  the  format  for  all  input
              files,  there  is  no  way  to  set  the  format  for  some  input files only.  See
              osmium-file-formats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.


OUTPUT OPTIONS
       -f, --output-format=FORMAT
              The format of the output file.  Can be used to set the output  file  format  if  it
              can’t be autodetected from the output file name.  See osmium-file-formats(5) or the
              libosmium manual for details.

       --fsync
              Call fsync after writing the output file to force flushing buffers to disk.

       --generator=NAME
              The name and version of the program generating the output file.  It will  be  added
              to the header of the output file.  Default is “osmium/” and the version of osmium.

       -o, --output=FILE
              Name of the output file.  Default is `-' (STDOUT).

       -O, --overwrite
              Allow  an  existing  output file to be overwritten.  Normally osmium will refuse to
              write over an existing file.

       --output-header=OPTION=VALUE
              Add output header option.  This command line option can be used multiple times  for
              different  OPTIONs.   See  the  libosmium  manual  for  a  list of available header
              options.  For some commands you can use  the  special  format  “OPTION!”  (ie.   an
              exclamation mark after the OPTION and no value set) to set the value to the same as
              in the input file.


DIAGNOSTICS
       osmium getparents exits with exit code

       0      if there was no error.

       1      if there was an error processing the data.

       2      if there was a problem with the command line arguments.


MEMORY USAGE
       osmium getparents does all its work on the fly and only keeps a table of all IDs it  needs
       in main memory.


EXAMPLES
       Output  all ways referencing nodes 17 or 1234, and all relations with nodes 17 or 1234, or
       way 42, or relation 111 as members to STDOUT in OPL format:

              osmium getparents -f opl planet.osm.pbf n1234 w42 n17 r111
