NAME

       osmium-sort - sort OSM files

SYNOPSIS

       osmium sort [OPTIONS] INPUT-FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Merges  the  content  of  all  input  files given on the command line and sort the result.
       Objects are sorted by type, ID, and version.

       This works with normal OSM data files, history files, and change files.

       osmium sort does its work in main memory, so all data has to fit in there!

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.

       -F, --input-format=FORMAT
              The format of the input files.  Can be used to set the input format if it can't  be
              autodetected  from  the  file names.  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.

       --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).

       --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.

       -O, --overwrite
              Allow  an  existing  output file to be overwritten.  Normally osmium will refuse to
              write over an existing file.

       --fsync
              Call fsync after writing the output file to force the OS to flush buffers to disk.

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

DIAGNOSTICS

       osmium sort 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.

EXAMPLES

       Sort in.osm.bz2 and write out to sorted.osm.pbf:

              osmium sort -o sorted.osm.pbf in.osm.bz2
