NAME¶

osm2pgsql-gen - Generalize OpenStreetMap data - EXPERIMENTAL!

SYNOPSIS¶

osm2pgsql-gen [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION¶

THIS PROGRAM IS EXPERIMENTAL AND MIGHT CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE!

osm2pgsql-gen reads data imported by osm2pgsql from the database, performs various generalization steps specified by a Lua config file and writes the data back to the database. It is used in conjunction with and after osm2pgsql and reads the same config file.

This man page can only cover some of the basics and describe the command line options. See the Generalization chapter in the osm2pgsql Manual (https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/manual.html#generalization) for more information.

OPTIONS¶

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (--). Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

MAIN OPTIONS¶

-a, --append

Run in append mode. The default is to run in create mode.

-S, --style=FILE

The Lua config file. Same as for osm2pgsql. Usually not required because it is read from the osm2pgsql_properties table.

-j, -jobs=NUM

Specifies the number of parallel threads used for certain operations. Setting this to the number of available CPU cores is a reasonable starting point. Minimum value and default is 1, maximum value is 256.

HELP/VERSION OPTIONS¶

-h, --help

Print help.

-V, --version

Print osm2pgsql version.

LOGGING OPTIONS¶

--log-level=LEVEL

Set log level (`debug', `info' (default), `warn', or `error').

--log-sql

Enable logging of SQL commands for debugging.

DATABASE OPTIONS¶

-d, --database=NAME

The name of the PostgreSQL database to connect to. If this parameter contains an = sign or starts with a valid URI prefix (postgresql:// or postgres://), it is treated as a conninfo string. See the PostgreSQL manual for details.

-U, --username=NAME

Postgresql user name.

-W, --password

Force password prompt.

-H, --host=HOSTNAME

Database server hostname or unix domain socket location.

-P, --port=PORT

Database server port.

--schema=SCHEMA

Default for various schema settings throughout osm2pgsql-gen (default: public). The schema must exist in the database and be writable by the database user. It must be the same as used with osm2pgsql.

--middle-schema=SCHEMA

Database schema where the osm2pgsql_properties table is to be found. Default set with --schema. Set to the same value as on the osm2pgsql command line.
