jc + VisiData make jcv

[frosencrantz]

Wanted to mention that jc works great with @saulpw's VisiData http://github.com/saulpw/visidata:

I have this simple script for viewing JC output in VisiData:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
jc "$@" | vd -n -f json

Here is an example using the --about flag to see the output of the new --proc flags can show:

https://asciinema.org/a/jYMMexlcU76ICMfmZIuXn284p

It loads jc --about into VisiData, looks at the all the parsers. Find the /proc ones that are not specific to a pid. Pulls on the /proc/filename. Runs jc with the flag and the filename as input, and the parses the output as JSON. You can now explore the results in VisiData.

Very cool! I was about to tweet this out but I noticed the video was marked private, so holding off.

You are welcome to share on Twitter. I usually use Asciinema for the bug reports, and don't spend much time to make sure they are public. I've made this one public, and gave it a name, with a link back to this thread.
