jc.parsers.ifconfig
jc - JSON Convert ifconfig command output parser
No ifconfig options are supported.
Consider using the ip command instead of ifconfig as it supports native
JSON output.
Usage (cli):
$ ifconfig | jc --ifconfig
or
$ jc ifconfig
Usage (module):
import jc
result = jc.parse('ifconfig', ifconfig_command_output)

[0] these fields only pick up the last IP address in the interface
output and are here for backwards compatibility. For information on
all IP addresses, use the `ipv4` and `ipv6` objects which contain an
array of IP address objects.
