[OSM-dev] Announcing osmsucker.c

[Stefan de Konink]

Hi all,


On many requests I have created an osmparser.c that instead on real 
files exclusively operates on stdin. Why would this benefit you? Most 
multiprocessor systems do nothing with their second processor, so in 
this case one processor can do bzip2 -d -c theplanet.osm.bz and the 
other one can run osmsucker.c. This gives you a parser with a relative 
easy to read output mechanism to convert the planet to a more suitable 
format for bulk loading. Theoretically it could be faster, practically I 
didn't see the difference (yet). By default it uses my (old) normalised 
OSM schema.

Because I have designed a new storage model; newer version will probably 
include this model.

I was informed on the controversial meaning of the word suck in relation 
to unix pipes. Never the less, the commasex^Hparatedvalues cu^Homing out 
of this program are pretty harmless. To prevent viral infections I have 
licensed the code under STD, STefan Delicensed, it allows you to do 
anything with the code except; make war.
