NAME
       osmpbf-outline - outline the content of an .osm.pbf or .osh.pbf file

SYNOPSIS
       osmpbf-outline [ --color ] filename

DESCRIPTION
       osmpbf-outline  generates  an colored outline an .osm.pbf or .osh.pbf file, revealing its inner structure.  It does not decode all informa-
       tion nor does it check for of possible mistakes, but it will warn on some bad mistakes one can make when generating .osm.pbf files.

       This tool can be used by authors of .osm.pbf readers and writers and is useful to understand the inner  blob/block  structure  of  .osm.pbf
       files.

       Its source code is heavily documented and can be used as a good start on how to read- and write .osm.pbf files with C++.

OPTIONS
       -c --color
	    usually  colorization  is  disabled  when  writing to a file descriptor that is no tty (eg. when the output is piped to a file or to a
	    pager like to more or less). Some pagers can handle ANSI color code ( more can, less can when invoked as less -R ).  To  enforce  col-
	    orization when working with such pagers, specify the --color flag.

EXAMPLES
       osmpbf-outline germany.osm.pbf
