 ### Options
-- `-a` about `jc`. Prints information about `jc` and the parsers (in JSON or
-       YAML, of course!)
-- `-C` force color output even when using pipes (overrides `-m` and the
-       `NO_COLOR` env variable)
-- `-d` debug mode. Prints trace messages if parsing issues are encountered (use
-       `-dd` for verbose debugging)
-- `-h` help. Use `jc -h --parser_name` for parser documentation
-- `-m` monochrome JSON output
-- `-p` pretty format the JSON output
-- `-q` quiet mode. Suppresses parser warning messages (use `-qq` to ignore
-       streaming parser errors)
-- `-r` raw output. Provides a more literal JSON output, typically with string
-       values and no additional semantic processing
-- `-u` unbuffer output
-- `-v` version information
-- `-y` YAML output
-- `-B` generate Bash shell completion script
-- `-Z` generate Zsh shell completion script
