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.

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

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.
Call fsync after writing the output file to force flushing buffers to disk.
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.
Name of the output file. Default is `-' (STDOUT).
Allow an existing output file to be overwritten. Normally osmium will refuse to write over an existing file.
Add output header option. This command line option can be used multiple times for different OPTIONs. See the libosmium manual 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.

osmium changeset-filter 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.

osmium changeset-filter does all its work on the fly and doesn’t keep much data in main memory.

To see all changesets by user “foo”:

osmium changeset-filter -u foo -f debug changesets.osm.bz2

To create an OPL file containing only open changesets:

osmium changeset-filter --open -o open-changesets.opl.bz2 changesets.osm.bz2
