💾 OSRM_DATASTORE 💾

okay bestie, so this is the osrm-datastore page from the Open Source Routing Machine manual (that's the OSRM manual, section 1, iykyk) 💅

✨ NAME ✨

osrm-datastore — the OSRM tool that stores your pre-processed OSRM data in shared memory 🧠✨

no cap, that's the whole personality. it takes data that's already been pre-processed and parks it in shared memory so other things can get at it.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

osrm-datastore [OPTIONS] INPUT

so it's the tool, then optionally some [OPTIONS], then your INPUT. that's the shape of it, bestie 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

osrm-datastore is a command-line tool from the Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM for short) and its whole job — its entire main character energy — is storing pre-processed OSRM data in shared memory 💖

like. that's it. that's the gig. it's not routing anything, it's not being dramatic about it, it's just putting your pre-processed data where shared memory can see it. iconic behaviour honestly 🔥

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • run osrm-datastore --help for a full list of options 👑
fr fr, the manpage is keeping the option list a secret and making you ask nicely. the --help flag has the receipts, so go get them 📜

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

  • osrm-routed(1) — the sibling, the vibe, the one you probably want next 🌈
