# jc.parsers.traceroute
jc - JSON CLI output utility traceroute Parser

Usage (cli):

    specify --traceroute as the first argument if the piped input is coming from traceroute

    Note: On some operating systems you will need to redirect STDERR to STDOUT for destination
          info since the header line is sent to STDERR. A warning message will be printed to
          STDERR if the header row is not found.

          e.g. $ traceroute 8.8.8.8 2>&1 | jc --traceroute

Usage (module):

    import jc.parsers.traceroute
    result = jc.parsers.traceroute.parse(traceroute_command_output)

Compatibility:

    'linux', 'darwin', 'freebsd'

    $ traceroute google.com | jc --traceroute -p
