NAME
osmium-removeid - remove objects from OSM file by ID
SYNOPSIS
osmium removeid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE ID...
osmium removeid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -i ID-FILE
osmium removeid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -I ID-OSM-FILE
DESCRIPTION
Copy input file to output removing objects with the specified IDs.
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.
Objects will be written out in the order they are found in the OSM-FILE. The input file
is only read once, reading from STDIN is possible by using the special file name `-'.
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 line 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 --id-file/-i) 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 remove.
The OSM-FILE can be a history file in which case all versions of the objects with the
specified IDs will be removed.
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.
-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 --id-file/-i but get the IDs from an OSM file. This option can be used
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 STDOUT and STDERR
are detected to be 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 STDOUT and STDERR
are 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=VALUE
Add output header option. This command line option can be used multiple times for
different OPTIONs. See the osmium-output-headers(5) man page for a list of
available header options. For some commands you can use the special format
“OPTION!” (ie. an exclamation mark after the OPTION and no value set) to set the
value to the same as in the input file.
DIAGNOSTICS
osmium removeid exits with exit code
0 if nothing went wrong
2 if there was a problem with the command line arguments.
MEMORY USAGE
osmium removeid does all its work on the fly and only keeps a table of all IDs it needs in
main memory.
EXAMPLES
Output all nodes except nodes 17 and 1234, all ways except way 42, and all relations
except relation 111 to STDOUT in OPL format:
osmium removeid -f opl planet.osm.pbf n1234 w42 n17 r111
