---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

spatialite_osm_raw [-h] [-o pathname] [-d pathname] [-cs num] [-m] [-jo]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen, spatialite_osm_raw is literally the tool for loading "raw" OSM maps into a SpatiaLite DB. that's it, that's the whole job. main character energy, no notes. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — shows the help message. bestie behaviour fr fr, it's giving "let me explain myself" 💅
• -o pathname, --osm-path pathname — the OSM-XML file path. the file you're feeding in, your lil snack 🍓

heads up: both OSM-XML (*.osm) and OSM-ProtoBuf (*.osm.pbf) are indifferently supported. so like, either one, no stress, she eats both. 😌

• -d pathname, --db-path pathname — the SpatiaLite DB path. where all the data's gonna live, its forever home 🏡
• -cs num, --cache-size num — DB cache size, as in how many pages. that's the unit. pages. ok. 📄✨
• -m, --in-memory — using an IN-MEMORY database. living in the moment, nothing saved to disk, iconic but fleeting 🫧
• -jo, --journal-off — unsafe (but faster) mode. ⚠️ UNSAFE ⚠️ like yes she's faster but she's also a little reckless, so know what you're signing up for before you flip this switch 😭💀
