+"""jc - JSON Convert Syslog RFC 3164 string streaming parser
+
+> This streaming parser outputs JSON Lines (cli) or returns an Iterable of
+> Dictionaries (module)
+
+This parser accepts a single syslog line string or multiple syslog lines
+separated by newlines. A warning message to `STDERR` will be printed if an
+unparsable line is found unless `--quiet` or `quiet=True` is used.
+
+Usage (cli):
+
+    $ echo '<34>Oct 11 22:14:15 mymachine su: su ro...' | jc --syslog-bsd-s
+
+Usage (module):
+
+    import jc
+
+    result = jc.parse('syslog_bsd_s', syslog_command_output.splitlines())
+    for item in result:
+        # do something
+
+Schema:
+
+    {
+      "priority":                   integer/null,
+      "date":                       string,
+      "hostname":                   string,
+      "tag":                        string/null,
+      "content":                    string,
+      "unparsable":                 string,  # [0]
+
+      # below object only exists if using -qq or ignore_exceptions=True
+      "_jc_meta": {
+        "success":      boolean,     # false if error parsing
+        "error":        string,      # exists if "success" is false
+        "line":         string       # exists if "success" is false
+      }
+    }
+
+    [0] this field exists if the syslog line is not parsable. The value
+        is the original syslog line.
+
+Examples:
+
+    $ cat syslog.txt | jc --syslog-bsd-s -p
+    {"priority":34,"date":"Oct 11 22:14:15","hostname":"mymachine","t...}
+    ...
+
+    $ cat syslog.txt | jc --syslog-bsd-s -p -r
+    {"priority":"34","date":"Oct 11 22:14:15","hostname":"mymachine","...}
