SYNOPSIS

osmium changeset-filter [OPTIONS] OSM-CHANGESET-FILE

DESCRIPTION

Copy the changesets matching all the given criteria to the output. Matching criteria are given through command line options.

This commands reads its input file only once and writes its output file in one go so it can be streamed, ie. it can read from STDIN and write to STDOUT.

-a, --after=TIMESTAMP: Only copy changesets closed after the given time. This will always include all open changesets.
-b, --before=TIMESTAMP: Only copy changesets created before the given time.
-B, --bbox=LONG1,LAT1,LONG2,LAT2: Only copy changesets with a bounding box overlapping the specified box. The coordinates LONG1,LAT1 are from one arbitrary corner, the coordinates LONG2,LAT2 are from the opposite corner.
-c, --with-changes: Only copy changesets with changes.
-C, --without-changes: Only copy changesets without changes.
-d, --with-discussion: Only copy changesets with discussions, ie changesets with at least one comment.
-D, --without-discussion: Only copy changesets without discussions, ie changesets without any comments.
--open: Only copy open changesets.
--closed: Only copy closed changesets.
-u, --user=USER: Only copy changesets by the given user name.
-U, --uid=UID: Only copy changesets by the given user ID.

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.

EXAMPLES

To see all changesets by user “foo”:

osmium changeset-filter -u foo -f debug changesets.osm.bz2

To create an OPL file containing only open changesets:

osmium changeset-filter --open -o open-changesets.opl.bz2 changesets.osm.bz2
