# jc.parsers.proc

jc - JSON Convert Proc file output parser

This parser automatically identifies the Proc file and calls the
corresponding parser to perform the parsing.

Magic syntax for converting `/proc` files is also supported by running
`jc /proc/<path to file>`. Any `jc` options must be specified before the
`/proc` path. The magic syntax supports "slurping" multiple files as input.
When multiple files are selected (e.g. `jc /proc/*/stat`) all of the output
will be wrapped inside an array. Also, a `_file` field will be included in
the output which helps correlate the input and output. The `--meta-out`
option can also be used to list the `/proc` input files for correlation with
the output list.

Specific Proc file parsers can also be called directly, if desired, and have
a naming convention of `proc-<name>` (cli) or `proc_<name>` (module). To see
a list of Proc file parsers, use `jc -hh` or `jc -a`.

Usage (cli):

    $ cat /proc/meminfo | jc --proc

or

    $ jc /proc/meminfo

or

    $ cat /proc/meminfo | jc --proc-memifno

Usage (module):

    import jc
    result = jc.parse('proc', proc_file)

Schema:

See the specific Proc parser for the schema:

    $ jc --help --proc-<name>

For example:

    $ jc --help --proc-meminfo

Specific Proc file parser names can be found with `jc -hh` or `jc -a`.

Schemas can also be found online at:
