NAME
       osmium-cat - concatenate OSM files and convert to different formats


SYNOPSIS
       osmium cat [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE...


DESCRIPTION
       Concatenates all input files and writes the result to the output file.  The data is not sorted in any way
       but strictly copied from input to output.

       Because this program supports several different input and output formats, it can be used to  convert  OSM
       files from one format into another.

       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
       -t, --object-type=TYPE
              Read only objects of given type (node, way, relation, changeset).  By default all types are  read.
              This option can be given multiple times.


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 cat 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 cat does all its work on the fly and doesn't keep much data in main memory.


EXAMPLES
       Convert a PBF file to a compressed XML file:

              osmium cat -o out.osm.bz2 in.osm.pbf

       Concatenate all change files in the 'changes' directory into one:

              osmium cat -o all-changes.osc.gz changes/*.osc.gz

       Copy nodes and ways from source to destination file:

              osmium cat -o dest.osm.pbf source.osm.pbf -t node -t way
