osmium: Convert file format from PBF into XML.

osmium

$ osmium cat ${path-to-input-osm-pbf} -o ${path-to-output-osm}

try on your machine

This command is using the "osmium" tool to read and manipulate OpenStreetMap data files. Let me break down the command for you:

"osmium cat": This is the command to concatenate together one or more OSM data files. In this case, it is used to process and manipulate a single input file.
"${path-to-input-osm-pbf}": This is a placeholder for the path to the input OSM PBF file. You need to replace it with the actual path on your system to the input file you want to process. The OSM PBF format is a binary format used for storing OpenStreetMap data.
"-o": This is an option flag indicating that the next argument should be used as the output file.
"${path-to-output-osm}": This is a placeholder for the path to the output OSM file. Again, you need to replace it with the actual path on your system where you want the resulting OSM data to be saved.

In summary, this command takes an input OSM PBF file, processes it using the "osmium cat" tool, and saves the resulting OSM data to an output file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
