.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This manual page documents briefly the
\fBosmosis\fR
command\&.
.PP
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page\&.
.PP
\fBosmosis\fR
is a command line Java application for processing OSM data\&. The tool consists of pluggable components that can be chained to perform a larger operation\&. For example, it has components for reading/writing databases and files, deriving/applying changes to data sources, and sorting data, (etc\&.)\&. It has been written to easily add new features without re\-writing common tasks such as file and database handling\&.

Some examples of the things it can currently do are:
