NAME
osm2pgsql-gen - Generalize OpenStreetMap data - EXPERIMENTAL!
SYNOPSIS
osm2pgsql-gen [OPTIONS]...
DESCRIPTION
THIS PROGRAM IS EXPERIMENTAL AND MIGHT CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE!
osm2pgsql-gen reads data imported by osm2pgsql from the database, performs various generalization steps
specified by a Lua config file and writes the data back to the database. It is used in conjunction with
and after osm2pgsql and reads the same config file.
This man page can only cover some of the basics and describe the command line options. See the
Generalization chapter in the osm2pgsql Manual (https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/manual.html#generalization) for
more information.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (--).
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
MAIN OPTIONS
-a, --append
Run in append mode. The default is to run in create mode.
-S, --style=FILE
The Lua config file. Same as for osm2pgsql. Usually not required because it is read from the
osm2pgsql_properties table.
-j, -jobs=NUM
Specifies the number of parallel threads used for certain operations. Setting this to the number
of available CPU cores is a reasonable starting point. Minimum value and default is 1, maximum
value is 256.
HELP/VERSION OPTIONS
-h, --help
Print help.
-V, --version
Print osm2pgsql version.
LOGGING OPTIONS
--log-level=LEVEL
Set log level (`debug', `info' (default), `warn', or `error').
--log-sql
Enable logging of SQL commands for debugging.
DATABASE OPTIONS
-d, --database=NAME
The name of the PostgreSQL database to connect to. If this parameter contains an = sign or starts
with a valid URI prefix (postgresql:// or postgres://), it is treated as a conninfo string. See
the PostgreSQL manual for details.
-U, --username=NAME
Postgresql user name.
-W, --password
Force password prompt.
-H, --host=HOSTNAME
Database server hostname or unix domain socket location.
-P, --port=PORT
Database server port.
--schema=SCHEMA
Default for various schema settings throughout osm2pgsql-gen (default: public). The schema must
exist in the database and be writable by the database user. It must be the same as used with
osm2pgsql.
--middle-schema=SCHEMA
Database schema where the osm2pgsql_properties table is to be found. Default set with --schema.
Set to the same value as on the osm2pgsql command line.
