spatialite_network(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the spatialite_network(1) era ✨ this is an analysis / validation tool for topological networks — yes, that's the whole vibe, it looks at your topological network and it analyzes it and it validates it, and honestly? she ate 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

spatialite_network [-h] [-d pathname] [-T table_name] [-f col_name] [-t
                   col_name] [-g col_name] [-c col_name]
                   [--a-star-supported | --a-star-excluded] [-n
                   col_name] [--bidirectional | --unidirectional
                   [--oneway-tofrom col_name] [--oneway-fromto col_name]
                   ] [-o table_name] [--overwrite-output]

like, that's the whole fit. every flag, no notes 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so spatialite_network is an analysis / validation tool for topological networks 🌈 that's it, that's the job description, and she is obsessed with doing it

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — show help message 🫶 (the classic "pls explain yourself" button)
• -d pathname, --db-path pathname — the SpatiaLite db path 🗂️ like where your db actually lives
• -T table_name, --table table_name — the db table to be validated 🎀 this is the one getting the vibe check
• -f col_name, --from-column col_name — the column for FromNode ⬅️
• -t col_name, --to-column col_name — the column for ToNode ➡️
• -g col_name, --geometry-column col_name — the column for Geometry 🦋
• -c col_name, --cost-column col_name — the column for Cost 💸

if omitted, GLength(g) will be used by default 🌟 (so she'll just measure the geometry herself, no biggie)

• --a-star-supported — support the A* algorithm (default) ⭐ yes bestie, A* is in her good graces by default
• --a-star-excluded — no support for the A* algorithm 💀 A* has been asked to leave the group chat
• -n col_name, --name-column col_name — the column for RoadName 🛣️
• --bidirectional — assume bidirectional arcs (default) 🔁 she assumes both ways unless you tell her otherwise
• --unidirectional — don't assume bidirectional arcs 🚫🔁

if bidirectional, each arc connecting FromNode to ToNode is implicitly connecting ToNode to FromNode as well 🔄 in this case you can select the following further options: --oneway-tofrom & --oneway-fromto 👀

• --oneway-tofrom col_name — OneWay To->From column name 🔙
• --oneway-fromto col_name — OneWay From->To column name 🔜

both columns are expected to contain BOOLEAN values [1-0] ✅❌ 1 means that the arc connection in the given direction is valid, otherwise 0 means a forbidden connection 🚧 (so like, 1 = slay, 0 = absolutely not)

• -o table_name, --output-table table_name — create a permanent NETWORK-DATA table 📊 permanent!! she's committing, no take-backs
• --overwrite-output — drop and recreate table_name if it exists 💥 (rip to the old one, but it had to go)

ngl bestie, that's the full menu — nothing skimmed, nothing skipped, every single flag accounted for 💖
