Document { column='geom', type=* }

[tordans]

I am looking for the docs that tell which values the type can have for { column='geom', type=* }.

I see https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/manual.html#geometry-types, but that has camel case names so I assume this is not the right docs section for this case.

I found https://github.com/openstreetmap/osm2pgsql/blob/a0ae47c63f3f398f3cc72d4308c42b7cf0e43f95/flex-config/bbox.lua#L17 which shows those values in use

• { column = 'geom', type = 'point' }
• { column = 'geom', type = 'linestring' }
• { column = 'geom', type = 'geometry' }
• { column = 'geom', type = 'multilinestring' }

In https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/manual.html#the-flex-output the define_table(OPTIONS) references OPTIONS but I think there is no place that would show what this OPTIONS can be, is there? That would likely be a good place to document the values(?).

Types for flex output columns are described in Defining Columns. There is an extra subsection for geometries.
