+"""jc - JSON CLI output utility sysctl -a Parser
+
+Usage:
+
+    specify --sysctl as the first argument if the piped input is coming from sysctl -a
+
+    Note: since sysctl output is not easily parsable only a very simple key/value object
+          will be output. An attempt is made to covert obvious integers. If no conversion
+          is desired, use the -r (raw) option in jc.
+
+Compatibility:
+
+    'linux', 'darwin', 'aix', 'freebsd'
+
+Examples:
+
+    $ sysctl | jc --sysctl -p
+    {
+      "user.cs_path": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin",
+      "user.bc_base_max": 99,
+      "user.bc_dim_max": 2048,
+      "user.bc_scale_max": 99,
+      "user.bc_string_max": 1000,
+      "user.coll_weights_max": 2,
+      "user.expr_nest_max": 32
+      ...
+    }
+
+    $ sysctl | jc --sysctl -p -r
+    {
+      "user.cs_path": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin",
+      "user.bc_base_max": "99",
+      "user.bc_dim_max": "2048",
+      "user.bc_scale_max": "99",
+      "user.bc_string_max": "1000",
+      "user.coll_weights_max": "2",
