# jc.parsers.dpkg\_l

jc - JSON CLI output utility `dpkg -l` command output parser

Set the `COLUMNS` environment variable to a large value to avoid field
truncation. For example:

$ COLUMNS=500 dpkg -l | jc --dpkg-l

Usage (cli):

$ dpkg -l | jc --dpkg-l

or

$ jc dpkg -l

Usage (module):

import jc
result = jc.parse('dpkg_l', dpkg_command_output)

or

import jc.parsers.dpkg_l
result = jc.parsers.dpkg_l.parse(dpkg_command_output)
