Ubuntu Manpage: osmium-getid - get objects from OSM file by ID

NAME

       osmium-getid - get objects from OSM file by ID

SYNOPSIS

       osmium getid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE ID...
       osmium getid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -i ID-FILE
       osmium getid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -I ID-OSM-FILE

DESCRIPTION

Get objects with the given IDs from the input and write them to the output.

IDs can be given 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 -r, --add-referenced is used all objects referenced from those objects will also be
added to the output.

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

If the option -r, --add-referenced is not used, the input file is read only once, if it is
used, the input file will possibly be read up to three times.

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 file 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 -i/--id-file) 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 not be a history file unless the -H, --with-history option is used. Then
all versions of the objects will be copied to the output.

If referenced objects are missing from the input file, the type and IDs of those objects
is written out to STDERR at the end of the program unless the -H, --with-history option
was given.

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.

--history
Deprecated. Use --with-history instead.

-H, --with-history
Make this program work on history files. This is only needed when using the -r
option.

-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.

-r, --add-referenced
Recursively find all objects referenced by the objects of the given IDs and include
them in the output. This only works correctly on non-history files unless the -H
option is also used.

--verbose-ids
Also print all requested and missing 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 STDERR is detected
              to be a 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 STDERR is
              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
              Add output header option.  This  option  can  be  given  several  times.   See  the
              libosmium manual for a list of allowed header options.

DIAGNOSTICS

       osmium getid exits with exit code

       0      if all IDs were found

       1      if  there was an error processing the data or not all IDs were found, (this is only
              detected if the -H, --with-history option was not used),

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

MEMORY USAGE

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

EXAMPLES

       Output nodes 17 and 1234, way 42, and relation 111 to STDOUT in OPL format:

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