# jc.parsers.time

jc - JSON CLI output utility `/usr/bin/time` command output parser

Output from `/usr/bin/time` is sent to `STDERR`, so the `-o` option can be
used to redirect the output to a file that can be read by `jc`.

Alternatively, the output from `/usr/bin/time` can be redirected to `STDOUT`
so `jc` can receive it.

Note: `/usr/bin/time` is similar but different from the Bash builtin
`time` command.

Usage (cli):

$ /usr/bin/time -o timefile.out sleep 2; cat timefile.out | \\
jc --time -p

Usage (module):

import jc
result = jc.parse('time', time_command_output)

or

import jc.parsers.time
result = jc.parsers.time.parse(time_command_output)
