NAME
       osmium-diff - display differences between OSM files

SYNOPSIS
       osmium diff [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE1 OSM-FILE2

DESCRIPTION
       Finds  all  differences	between	two OSM	files and displays them.  This
       command compares	all attributes of all objects, so it will  even	 find,
       say,  differences  in  the user name or even the	order of tags, differ-
       ences that should not happen in normal OSM data unless there is also  a
       different object	version.

       Only  differences between objects (node,	ways, and relations) are found
       and displayed.  Headers are ignored.

       Objects in both input files must	be sorted in the same order.

       Several output formats are supported, see the OUTPUT FORMATS section.

       This command is intended	for displaying the differences	between	 files
       to humans.  It can not be used to create	an OSM change file (.osc), use
       osmium-derive-changes for that.

OUTPUT FORMATS
       The  following  output  formats	are  supported and can be set with the
       --output-format/-f options.  Default is the compact format.

       compact
	      A	very compact format.  For all objects a	line is	 printed  with
	      the  type	 of  object (`n', `w', or `r'),	the object ID and then
	      the version number.  If objects appear in	 both  files  and  are
	      identical	 they are preceded by a	space (' `) character, if they
	      are in both files, but different,	they are preceded by an	aster-
	      isk ('*`).  Otherwise they get a minus ('-`) or plus ('+') char-
	      acter to show that they are only in the first  or	 second	 file,
	      respectively.

       opl    The usual	OPL format with	all lines preceded by space (' `), mi-
	      nus ('-`), or plus ('+') characters depending on whether the ob-
	      ject is in both, the first, or the second	file.

       debug  The  usual  debug	format with all	lines preceded by space	(' `),
	      minus ('-`), or plus ('+`) characters depending on  whether  the
	      object is	in both, the first, or the second file.	 Color support
	      can be enabled ('debug,color').

       None of the output formats print	the headers of the input files.

OPTIONS
       -c, --suppress-common
	      Do not output objects that are the same in both files.

       -f, --output-format=FORMAT
	      See the OUTPUT FORMATS section.

       -o, --output=FILE
	      Name of the output file.	Default	is `-' (STDOUT).

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

       -q, --quiet
	      No output.  Just report when files  differ  through  the	return
	      code.

       -s, --summary
	      Print count of objects that are only in the left or right	files,
	      or the same in both or different in both to STDERR.

       -t, --object-type=TYPE
	      Read  only  objects of given type	(node, way, relation).	By de-
	      fault all	types are read.	 This option  can  be  given  multiple
	      times.   This  affects  the output as well as the	return code of
	      the command.

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-for-
	      mats(5) or the libosmium manual for details.

DIAGNOSTICS
       osmium diff exits with exit code

       0      if the files are the same,

       1      if the files are different, or

       2      if there was an error

MEMORY USAGE
       osmium diff doesn't keep	a lot of data in memory.

EXAMPLES
       Show difference between Nepal files from	January	2016 and Febrary  2016
       in compact format:

	      osmium diff nepal-20160101.osm.pbf nepal-20160201.osm.pbf

       Show in color debug format only those objects that are different:

	      osmium diff nepal-20160101.osm.pbf nepal-20160201.osm.pbf	-f debug,color -c
