Ubuntu Manpage: osmium-fileinfo - show information about an OSM file

NAME

       osmium-fileinfo - show information about an OSM file

SYNOPSIS

       osmium fileinfo [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE

DESCRIPTION

Shows various information about OSM files such as the file type, bounding boxes in the header, etc.

This command will usually only read the file header. Use the --extended option to show more information.

Normally this command will output the data in human readable form. If the -j, --json option is used, the
output will be in JSON format instead.

If the -g, --get option is used, only the value of the named variable will be printed.

The output is split into three sections:

File This section shows the information available without opening the file itself. It contains the
file name, the format deduced from the file name, the compression used and the size of the file in
bytes.

Header This section shows the information available from the header of the file (if available, OPL files
have no header). Any available bounding boxes are shown as well as header options such as the
generator and file format version.

Data This section shows the information available from reading the whole file. It is only shown if the
--extended option was used. It shows the actual bounding box calculated from the nodes in the
file, the first and last timestamp of all objects in the file, a CRC32 checksum of the data in the
file, the number of changesets, nodes, ways, and relations found in the file, whether the objects
in the file were ordered by type (nodes, then ways, then relations) and id, and whether there were
multiple versions of the same object in the file (history files and change files can have that).

OPTIONS

       -e, --extended
              Read the complete file and show additional information.  The default is to read only the header of
              the file.

       -F, --input-format=FORMAT
              The format of the input file.  Can  be  used  to  set  the  input  file  format  if  it  can't  be
              autodetected from the file name.  See osmium-file-formats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.

       -g, --get=VARIABLE
              Get value of VARIABLE.  Can not be used together with --json.

       -G, --show-variables
              Show a list of all variable names.

       -j, --json
              Output in JSON format.  Can not be used together with --get.

       -v, --verbose
              Set verbose mode.  The program will output information about what it is doing to stderr.

       The following variables are available:

              file.name - STRING
              file.format - STRING: XML|PBF
              file.compression - STRING: none|bzip2|gzip
              file.size - INTEGER (0 for stdout)
              header.with_history - BOOL (yes|no)
              header.option.generator - STRING
              header.option.version - STRING
              header.option.pbf_dense_nodes - BOOL (yes|no)
              header.option.osmosis_replication_timestamp - STRING with TIMESTAMP
              header.option.osmosis_replication_sequence_number - INTEGER
              header.option.osmosis_replication_base_url - STRING
              data.bbox - BOX
                  (in JSON as nested ARRAY with coordinates)
              data.timestamp.first - STRING with TIMESTAMP
              data.timestamp.last - STRING wih TIMESTAMP
              data.objects_ordered - BOOL (yes|no)
              data.multiple_versions - STRING (yes|no|unknown)
                  (in JSON as BOOL and missing if "unknown")
              data.crc32 - STRING with 8 hex digits
              data.count.nodes - INTEGER
              data.count.ways - INTEGER
              data.count.relations - INTEGER
              data.count.changesets - INTEGER
              data.maxid.nodes - INTEGER
              data.maxid.ways - INTEGER
              data.maxid.relations - INTEGER
              data.maxid.changesets - INTEGER

       All  timestamps  are  in  the  usual  OSM  ISO  format  yy-mm-ddThh::mm::ssZ.   Boxes  are  in the format
       (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).

DIAGNOSTICS

       osmium fileinfo 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.
