NAME

       osmium-apply-changes - apply OSM change file(s) to OSM data file

SYNOPSIS

       osmium  apply-changes  [OPTIONS]  OSM-DATA-FILE  OSM-CHANGE-FILE...   osmium apply-changes
       [OPTIONS] OSM-HISTORY-FILE OSM-CHANGE-FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Merges the content of all OSM change files and applies those changes to the  OSM  data  or
       history file.

       Objects  in  the data or history file must be sorted by type, ID, and version.  Objects in
       change files need not be sorted, so it doesn't matter in what order the change  files  are
       given or in what order they contain the data.

       Changes  can  be  applied to normal OSM data files or OSM history files with this command.
       File formats will be autodetected from the file  name  suffixes,  see  the  --with-history
       option if that doesn't work.

       This commands reads its input file(s) only once and writes its output file in one go so it
       can be streamed, ie.  it can read from STDIN and write to STDOUT.

OPTIONS

       -H, --with-history
              Update an OSM history file (instead of a normal OSM data  file).   Both  input  and
              output  must  be  history  files.   This  option  is usually not necessary, because
              history files will be detected from their file name suffixes, but if this detection
              doesn't  work,  you can force this mode with this option.  Can not be used together
              with the --locations-on-ways option.

       --locations-on-ways
              Input has and output should have node locations on ways.  Can  be  used  to  update
              files  created  by  the osmium-add-locations-to-ways.  See there for details on the
              format.  Can not be used together with the --with-history,-H option.

       -r, --remove-deleted
              Deprecated.  Remove deleted objects from the output.  This is now  the  default  if
              your input file is a normal OSM data file ('.osm').

       -s, --simplify
              Deprecated.   Only write the last version of any object to the output.  This is now
              the default if your input file is a normal OSM data file ('.osm').

COMMON OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show usage help.

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

INPUT OPTIONS

       -F, --input-format=FORMAT
              The  format of the OSM-DATA-FILE or OSM-HISTORY-FILE.  Can be used to set the input
              format if it can't be autodetected from the file name.  See  osmium-file-formats(5)
              or the libosmium manual for details.

       --change-file-format=FORMAT
              The  format  of  the OSM-CHANGE-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
              change  files,  there  is no way to set the format for some change 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
              Add output header option.  This  option  can  be  given  several  times.   See  the
              libosmium manual for a list of allowed header options.

DIAGNOSTICS

       osmium apply-changes exits with exit code

       0      if everything went alright,

       1      if there was an error processing the data, or

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

MEMORY USAGE

       osmium apply-changes keeps the contents of all the change files in main memory.  This will
       take roughly 10 times as much memory as the files take on disk in .osm.bz2 format.

EXAMPLES

       Apply changes in 362.osc.gz to planet file and write result to new.osm.pbf:

              osmium apply-changes --output=new.osm.pbf planet.osm.pbf 362.osc.gz
