OpenStreetmap tools come with varying amounts of documentation. Even when available, information can be split between usage messages, manual pages, files in /usr/share/doc and the OpenStreetmap Wiki. This collection of pages provides the manuals online as well as links to online documentation and supplementary information from my own experience, in a single place.
Configuration file
osm2pgsql can be used to create a different database from the one used by
the standard Mapnik rendering style. Its configuration file (also called a
style file) tells it how to translate tags of OpenStreetmap objects to entries
in the database. The default configuration file is
/usr/share/osm2pgsql/default.style.
