This manual page documents briefly the osmosis command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

osmosis is a command line Java application for processing OSM data. The tool consists of pluggable components that can be chained to perform a larger operation. For example, it has components for reading/writing databases and files, deriving/applying changes to data sources, and sorting data, (etc.). It has been written to easily add new features without re-writing common tasks such as file and database handling.

Some examples of the things it can currently do are:

Generate planet dumps from a database

Load planet dumps into a database

Produce change sets using database history tables

Apply change sets to a local database

Compare two planet dump files and produce a change set

Re-sort the data contained in planet dump files

Extract data inside a bounding box or polygon

The commands and arguments accepted by osmosis are described in details and shown in examples in the page \m[blue]http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis\m[] and its subpages.

The upstreams BTS can be found at \m[blue]http://trac.openstreetmap.org/query?component=osmosis\m[]. Bugs are also discussed on upstream mailing list, at \m[blue]http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osmosis-dev\m[].
