New Parser: airport -I

[chrisbergeron]

It would be nice to have a parser for the Mac OSX 'airport' command. Output of 'airport -I' is:
agrCtlRSSI: -73
agrExtRSSI: 0
agrCtlNoise: -92
agrExtNoise: 0
state: running
op mode: station
lastTxRate: 176
maxRate: 867
lastAssocStatus: 0
802.11 auth: open
link auth: wpa2-psk
BSSID: 58:d9:d5:3:40:35
SSID: Tenda_034030_5G
MCS: 2
channel: 36,80

Hey there - thanks for the request! What program should I install on my Mac to get airport? Is it a brew install?

[chrisbergeron]

I think it's built in to OS X:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport
I symlinked it into /usr/local/bin

If you don't have it there, I'll see what package I used to install it.

[kellyjonbrazil]

Ah yes, I see it there. Cool - looks pretty simple to parse so I'll add it to the next release.

Now supporting airport -I and airport -s:

airport -I

$ airport -I | jc --airport -p
{
  "agrctlrssi": -66,
  "agrextrssi": 0,
  "agrctlnoise": -90,
  "agrextnoise": 0,
  "state": "running",
  "op_mode": "station",
  "lasttxrate": 195,
  "maxrate": 867,
  "lastassocstatus": 0,
  "802_11_auth": "open",
  "link_auth": "wpa2-psk",
  "bssid": "3c:37:86:15:ad:f9",
  "ssid": "SnazzleDazzle",
  "mcs": 0,
  "channel": "48,80"
}

airport -s

$ airport -s | jc --airport-s -p
[

    "ssid": "DIRECT-4A-HP OfficeJet 3830",
    "bssid": "00:67:eb:2a:a7:3b",

You got it! Still working on some other things but this should go out in the 1.9.0 release soon.

[kellyjonbrazil]

You should be able to do a pip3 install --upgrade jc to get the new airport parsers.

Happy parsing!
