Description
Would be nice to be able to grep the output.
Adding a -o/--output option with different output formats (json, jsonc, none, table, tsv, yaml, yamlc) would be best.
Example:
procmon -f procmon_2020-07-23_01\:54\:51.db -o tsv | grep ssh

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the procmon command-line argument handling and output-generation code, then determine how the requested -o/--output formats should be represented; done means the example can emit tsv that grep can consume and the listed formats are handled consistently.
