jc.parsers.sysctl
jc - JSON Convert sysctl -a
command output parser
Note: Since
sysctl
output is not easily parsable only a very simple key/value object will be output. An attempt is made to convert obvious integers and floats. If no conversion is desired, use the-r
command-line argument or theraw=True
argument inparse()
.
Usage (cli):
$ sysctl -a | jc --sysctl
or
$ jc sysctl -a
Usage (module):
import jc
result = jc.parse('sysctl', sysctl_command_output)
Schema:
{
"key1": string/integer/float, # best guess based on value
"key2": string/integer/float,
"key3": string/integer/float
}
Examples:
$ sysctl -a | jc --sysctl -p
{
"user.cs_path": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin",
"user.bc_base_max": 99,
"user.bc_dim_max": 2048,
"user.bc_scale_max": 99,
"user.bc_string_max": 1000,
"user.coll_weights_max": 2,
"user.expr_nest_max": 32
...
}
$ sysctl -a | jc --sysctl -p -r
{
"user.cs_path": "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin",
"user.bc_base_max": "99",
"user.bc_dim_max": "2048",
"user.bc_scale_max": "99",
"user.bc_string_max": "1000",
"user.coll_weights_max": "2",
"user.expr_nest_max": "32",
...
}
