OpenStreetMap PBF golang encoder/decoder
A golang based OpenStreetMap PBF encoder/decoder with a handy command line utility, pbf.
The pbf CLI can be installed using the go install command:
$ go install m4o.io/pbf/cmd/pbf
The pbf CLI can be used to obtain summary and extended information about an
OpenStreetMap PBF file:
$ pbf info -i testdata/greater-london.osm.pbf
BoundingBox: [-0.511482, 51.28554, 0.335437, 51.69344]
RequiredFeatures: OsmSchema-V0.6, DenseNodes
OptionalFeatures:
WritingProgram: Osmium (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmium)

JSON output can be obtained by adding the -j option:
$ pbf info -j -i testdata/greater-london.osm.pbf | jq
{
"BoundingBox": {
"Left": -0.511482,
"Right": 0.33543700000000004,
"Top": 51.69344,
"Bottom": 51.285540000000005
},
"RequiredFeatures": [
"OsmSchema-V0.6",
"DenseNodes"
],
"OptionalFeatures": null,
"WritingProgram": "Osmium (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmium)",

"OsmosisReplicationTimestamp": "2014-03-24T14:55:02-07:00",
"OsmosisReplicationSequenceNumber": 0,
"OsmosisReplicationBaseURL": ""
}
Here, jq is used to pretty print the compact JSON.
Extended information about the OpenStreetMap PBF file can be obtained
by using the -e option. This causes the entire file to be scanned, which can
take a very long time; a progress bar is displayed on stderr.
$ pbf info -e -i testdata/greater-london.osm.pbf
BoundingBox: [-0.511482, 51.28554, 0.335437, 51.69344]

WayCount: 459,055

Finally, pbf can read an OpenStreetMap PBF file from stdin:
$ cat testdata/greater-london.osm.pbf | pbf info -e
In this case, a progress bar is not displayed since there is no way to know, a priori, what the size of the PBF file is.
