NAME
       osmium-sort - sort OSM files

SYNOPSIS
       osmium sort [OPTIONS] OSM-FILE...

DESCRIPTION
       Combines	 and sorts the content of all input files given	on the command
       line.

       Objects are sorted by type, ID, and version.  IDs are  sorted  negative
       IDs  first,  then  positive IDs,	both ordered by	their absolute values.
       So the sort order for types and IDs is:

       node -1,	node -2, ..., node 1, node 2, ..., way -1, way -2, ...,	way 1,
       way 2, ..., relation -1,	relation -2, ..., relation 1, relation 2, ...

       If there	are several objects of the same	type and with the same ID they
       are ordered by ascending	version.  If there are several objects of  the
       same  type  and with the	same ID	and version the	sort order is unspeci-
       fied.  Duplicate	objects	will not be removed.

       This command works with normal  OSM  data  files,  history  files,  and
       change files.

       This  commands  reads its input file(s) 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.	 (Unless the multipass strategy	is used.)

OPTIONS
       -s, --strategy=STRATEGY
	      Sorting  strategy.   The "simple"	strategy reads all input files
	      into memory, does	the sorting and	writes	everything  out.   The
	      "multipass"  strategy reads the input files in three passes, one
	      for nodes, one for ways, and one for relations.	After  reading
	      all objects of each type,	they are sorted	and written out.  This
	      is  a  bit slower	than the "simple" strategy, but	uses less mem-
	      ory.  The	"multipass" strategy doesn't work  when	 reading  from
	      STDIN.  Default: "simple".

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.

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 os-
	      mium 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-out-
	      put-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 sort exits with exit code

       0      if everything went alright,

       1      if there was an error processing the data, or

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

MEMORY USAGE
       osmium  sort  keeps the contents	of all the input files in main memory.
       This will take roughly 10 times as much memory as  the  files  take  on
       disk in .osm.bz2	or osm.pbf format.

EXAMPLES
       Sort in.osm.bz2 and write out to	sorted.osm.pbf:

	      osmium sort -o sorted.osm.pbf in.osm.bz2
