NAME

       osmpbf-outline - outline the content of an .osm.pbf or .osh.pbf file

SYNOPSIS

       osmpbf-outline [ --color ] filename

DESCRIPTION

       osmpbf-outline  generates an colored outline an .osm.pbf or .osh.pbf file, revealing its inner structure.
       It does not decode all information nor does it check for of possible mistakes, but it will warn  on  some
       bad mistakes one can make when generating .osm.pbf files.

       This  tool  can  be used by authors of .osm.pbf readers and writers and is useful to understand the inner
       blob/block structure of .osm.pbf files.

       Its source code is heavily documented and can be used as a good start on how to read- and write  .osm.pbf
       files with C++.

OPTIONS

       -c --color
            usually  colorization  is  disabled  when  writing to a file descriptor that is no tty (eg. when the
            output is piped to a file or to a pager like to more or less). Some pagers  can  handle  ANSI  color
            code  ( more can, less can when invoked as less -R ). To enforce colorization when working with such
            pagers, specify the --color flag.

EXAMPLES

       osmpbf-outline germany.osm.pbf
