OSMIUM-GETID(1) 						 OSMIUM-GETID(1)

NAME
     osmium-getid - get objects from OSM file by ID

SYNOPSIS
     osmium getid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE ID...
     osmium getid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -i ID-FILE
     osmium getid [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE -I ID-OSM-FILE

DESCRIPTION
     Get objects with the given IDs from the input and write them to the output.

     IDs can be given on the command line (first case in synopsis), or read from
     text files with one ID per line (second case in synopsis), or read from OSM
     files (third cases in synopsis).  A mixture of these cases is also allowed.

     All  objects  with  these IDs will be read from OSM-FILE and written to the
     output.  If the option --add-referenced/-r is used all  objects  referenced
     from those objects will also be added to the output.

     Objects will be written out in the order they are found in the OSM-FILE.

     If  the option --add-referenced/-r is not used, the input file is read only
     once, if it is used, the input file will  possibly  be  read  up  to  three
     times.

     On  the  command line or in the ID file, the IDs have the form: TYPE-LETTER
     NUMBER.  The type letter is `n' for nodes, `w' for ways, and `r' for  rela-
     tions.   If  there is no type letter, `n' for nodes is assumed (or whatever
     the --default-type option says).  So "n13 w22 17 r21" will match the  nodes
     13 and 17, the way 22 and the relation 21.

     The  order  in which the IDs appear does not matter.  Identical IDs can ap-
     pear multiple times on the command line or in the ID file(s).

     On the command line, the list of IDs can be in separate arguments or  in  a
     single argument separated by spaces, tabs, commas (,), semicolons (;), for-
     ward slashes (/) or pipe characters (|).

     In  an ID file (option --id-file/-i) each line must start with an ID in the
     format described above.  Leading space characters in the line are	ignored.
     Lines  can  optionally contain a space character or a hash sign (`#') after
     the ID.  Any characters after that are ignored.  (This also allows files in
     OPL format to be read.)  Empty lines are ignored.

     Note that all objects will be taken from the OSM-FILE, the  ID-OSM-FILE  is
     only  used  to detect which objects to get.  This might matter if there are
     different object versions in the different files.

     The OSM-FILE can not be a history file unless the --with-history/-H  option
     is used.  Then all versions of the objects will be copied to the output.

     If  referenced objects are missing from the input file, the type and IDs of
     those objects is written out to STDERR at the end of the program unless the
     --with-history/-H option was given.

     This command will not work with negative IDs.

OPTIONS
     --default-type=TYPE
	    Use TYPE (`node', `way', or `relation') for IDs without a type  pre-
	    fix  (default:  `node').   It  is also allowed to just use the first
	    character of the type here.

     -H, --with-history
	    Make this program work on history files.  This is only  needed  when
	    using the -r option.

     -i, --id-file[=FILE]
	    Read  IDs  from text file instead of from the command line.  Use the
	    special name "-" to read from STDIN.  Each line  of  the  file  must
	    start  with  an ID in the format described above.  Lines can option-
	    ally contain a space character or a hash sign (`#')  after	the  ID.
	    This  character and all following characters are ignored.  (This al-
	    lows files in OPL format to be read.)  Empty lines are also ignored.
	    This option can be used multiple times.

     -I, --id-osm-file=OSMFILE
	    Like --id-file/-i but get the IDs from an OSM file.  This option can
	    be used multiple times.

     -r, --add-referenced
	    Recursively find all objects referenced by the objects of the  given
	    IDs  and  include  them in the output.  This only works correctly on
	    non-history files unless the -H option is also used.

     -t, --remove-tags
	    Remove tags from objects that are not explicitly requested	but  are
	    only  included  to complete references (nodes in ways and members of
	    relations).  If an object is both requested and used as a  reference
	    it	will  keep its tags.  You also need --add-referenced/-r for this
	    to make sense.

     --verbose-ids
	    Also print all requested and missing IDs.  This is usually disabled,
	    because the lists can get quite long.  (This option  implies  --ver-
	    bose.)

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 STD-
	    OUT  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  for-
	    mat  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  for-
	    mat  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  "os-
	    mium/" 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 mul-
	    tiple 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.

DIAGNOSTICS
     osmium getid exits with exit code

     0	    if all IDs were found

     1	    if there was an error processing the data or not all IDs were found,
	    (this  is  only  detected  if  the	--with-history/-H option was not
	    used),

     2	    if there was a problem with the command line arguments.

MEMORY USAGE
     osmium getid does all its work on the fly and only keeps a table of all IDs
     it needs in main memory.

EXAMPLES
     Output nodes 17 and 1234, way 42, and relation 111 to STDOUT in OPL format:

	    osmium getid -f opl planet.osm.pbf n1234 w42 n17 r111
