# jc.parsers.ls
jc - JSON CLI output utility ls Parser

Usage:
    specify --ls as the first argument if the piped input is coming from ls

    ls options supported:
    - None
    - la
    - h   file sizes will be available in text form with -r but larger file sizes
          with human readable suffixes will be converted to Null in default view
          since the parser attempts to convert this field to an integer.

Examples:

    $ ls /usr/bin | jc --ls -p
    [
      {
        "filename": "apropos"
      },
      {
