[OSM-dev] tools to detect if a pbf is a historic/attic ou classic pbf

[Jochen Topf]

Hi!

Also: If you only need one "field" from the "osmium fileinfo" output,
the -g option is your friend. :-)

An the topic of handling OSM history files: Most tools will not work
correctly with them and silently do wrong things. This is because there
really is no difference internally between a normal OSM file and a
history OSM file, the latter just has several versions of the same
object in it (and most tools will expect only one). The man pages for
all the Osmium commands (https://docs.osmcode.org/osmium/latest/) will
tell you in each case whether the command can work with history files
and if there are any restrictions on use etc.
