# jc.parsers.proc\_devices

jc - JSON Convert `/proc/devices` file parser

Usage (cli):

    $ cat /proc/devices | jc --proc

or

    $ cat /proc/devices | jc --proc-devices

Usage (module):

    import jc
    result = jc.parse('proc', proc_devices_file)

or

    import jc
    result = jc.parse('proc_devices', proc_devices_file)

Schema:

Since devices can be members of multiple groups, the value for each device
is a list.

    {
      "character": {
        "<device number>": [
                                    string
        ]
      },
      "block": {
        "<device number>": [
                                    string
        ]
      }
    }

    $ cat /proc/devices | jc --proc -p
    {
      "character": {
        "1": [
