# jc.parsers.rpm_qi

jc - JSON Convert `rpm -qi` command output parser

Works with `rpm -qi [package]` or `rpm -qia`.

The `..._epoch` calculated timestamp fields are naive. (i.e. based on the
local time of the system the parser is run on)

The `..._epoch_utc` calculated timestamp fields are timezone-aware and are
only available if the timezone field is UTC.

Usage (cli):

    $ rpm -qia | jc --rpm-qi

or

    $ jc rpm -qia

Usage (module):

    import jc
    result = jc.parse('rpm_qi', rpm_qi_command_output)
