JSON CLI output utility v0.1
2019-10-15 15:06:09 -07:00
`jc` is used to JSONify the output of many standard linux cli tools for easier parsing in scripts. Parsers for `ls` , `ifconfig` , and `netstat` are currently included and more can be added via modules.
## Usage
`jc` accepts piped input from `STDIN` and outputs a JSON representation of the previous command to `STDOUT` . The JSON output can be compact or pretty formatted.
The first argument is required and identifies the command that is piping output to `jc` input. For example:
- `--ls` enables the `ls` parser
- `--ifconfig` enables the `ifconfig` parser
- `--netstat` enables the `netstat` parser
The second `-p` argument is optional and specifies whether to pretty format the JSON output.
## Examples
```
$ ls -l /bin | jc --ls -p
