🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so spatialite_osm_net is literally the tool you use for loading OSM-XML roads into a SpatiaLite DB. that's the job. that's what she does. periodt 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — show help message. the classic, she's telling you what's up 🙈
• -o pathname, --osm-path pathname — the OSM-XML file path. and here's the cute part: both OSM-XML (*.osm) and OSM-ProtoBuf (*.osm.pbf) are indifferently supported, so you can bring either one to the party 🎉 no conversion drama, she just handles it.
• -d pathname, --db-path pathname — the SpatiaLite DB path. where the magic lands 💖
• -T table_name, --table table_name — the db table to be fed 🍓
• -cs num, --cache-size num — DB cache size, which is how many pages. numbers, slay 📊
• -m, --in-memory — using IN-MEMORY database. all up in the RAM, iconic ⚡
• -n, --no-spatial-index — suppress R*Tree generation. no index for you, bestie 🚫🌳
• -jo, --journal-off — unsafe (but faster) mode. and like, she means unsafe — fast yes, but bestie be careful, no cap 💀
• -2, --undirectional — double arcs 👀
• --roads — extract roads (default). this is the default one btw, so if you say nothing, roads is what you get 🛣️
• --railways — extract railways. choo choo, different flavor 🚂
• -ot path, --out-template path — creates a default template-file 🌈
• -tf path, --template-file path — using a template-file 🎀

and that's the whole thing bestie, you ate that 🫶
