NAME
       osmcoastline_filter - filter coastline data from OSM file


SYNOPSIS
       osmcoastline_filter --output=OUTPUT_FILE INPUT-FILE

       osmcoastline_filter --help


DESCRIPTION
       osmcoastline_filter  is  used  to  filter  all  nodes  and  ways  needed  for building the
       coastlines from an OSM planet.  The data is written to the output file in PBF format.

       This output file will be a lot smaller (less than 1%) than the original planet  file,  but
       it contains everything needed to assemble the coastline polygons.

       If  you  are  playing  around  or  want  to  run osmcoastline several times with different
       parameters, run osmcoastline_filter once first  and  use  its  output  as  the  input  for
       osmcoastline.

       osmcoastline_filter  can  read PBF and XML files, but write only PBF files.  PBF files are
       much smaller and faster to read and write than XML files.   The  output  file  will  first
       contain  all  ways tagged "natural=coastline", then all nodes used for those ways (and all
       nodes tagged "natural=coastline").  Having the ways first and the nodes later in the  file
       is  unusual  for  OSM files, but the osmcoastline and osmcoastline_ways programs work fine
       with it.
