# jc.parsers.ping_s
jc - JSON CLI output utility `ping` command output streaming parser

Supports `ping` and `ping6` output.

Usage (cli):

    $ ping | jc --ping-s

> Note: When piping `jc` converted ping output to other processes it may appear the output is hanging due to the OS pipe buffers. This is because `ping` output is too small to quickly fill up the buffer. Use the `-u` option to unbuffer the `jc` output if you would like immediate output. See the [readme](https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc/tree/streaming#streaming-parsers) for more information.

Usage (module):

    import jc.parsers.ping_s
    result = jc.parsers.ping_s.parse(ping_command_output.splitlines())    # result is an iterable object
    for item in result:
        # do something
