Crop or shrink OSM file to given bbox

0

Is there a command line tool, which will allow to cut existing osm file data and keep only all relevant data to a given bbox? Lets say we have an OSM file for a given country, I want to make it smaller and only keep some smaller bbox area as OSM data with all it relations and POIs Any help here?

Thanks to @jonathan-bennett

Osmosis, a command-line Java application, will do this and more.
