Avrdude
To handle the programmer when programming e.g. my ATMEGA168, I use avrdude.
Using avrdude
Installing it on my Mac was a breeze using MacPorts …
$ port search avrdude
avrdude @5.11.1 (cross, devel)
an Atmel AVR MCU programmer
$ sudo port install avrdude
...
---> No broken files found.List the JTAGICEs connected to USB
$ avrdude -c jtag2isp -p atmega168 -P usb:xx -v

avrdude done. Thank you.The content of low.txt contains information about the low fuse in Intel Hex format ↗ and requires a little interpretation.
$ cat low.txt
:01000000629D
:00000001FFThe two digits that are important here are the 6 and 2 on the first line. All the other digits are part of the Intel HEX format. 62 was also already found in the verbose output, as seen above.
