DESCRIPTION         top

       ipptool sends IPP requests to the specified printer-uri and tests
       and/or displays the results.  Each named testfile defines one or
       more requests, including the expected response status,
       attributes, and values.  Output is either a plain text, formatted
       text, CSV, or XML report on the standard output, with a non-zero
       exit status indicating that one or more tests have failed.  The
       testfile format is described in ipptoolfile(5).

OPTIONS         top

       The following options are recognized by ipptool:

       --help
            Shows program help.

       --ippserver filename
            Specifies that the test results should be written to the
            named ippserver attributes file.

       --stop-after-include-error
            Tells ipptool to stop if an error occurs in an included
            file. Normally ipptool will continue with subsequent tests
            after the INCLUDE directive.

       --version
            Shows the version of ipptool being used.

       -4   Specifies that ipptool must connect to the printer or server
            using IPv4.

       -6   Specifies that ipptool must connect to the printer or server
            using IPv6.

       -C   Specifies that requests should be sent using the HTTP/1.1
            "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header, which is required for
            conformance by all versions of IPP.  The default is to use
            "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" for requests with attached
            files and "Content-Length:" for requests without attached
            files.

       -E   Forces TLS encryption when connecting to the server using
            the HTTP "Upgrade" header.

       -I   Specifies that ipptool will continue past errors.

       -L   Specifies that requests should be sent using the HTTP/1.0
            "Content-Length:" header, which is required for conformance
            by all versions of IPP.  The default is to use
            "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" for requests with attached
            files and "Content-Length:" for requests without attached
            files.

       -P filename.plist
            Specifies that the test results should be written to the
            named XML (Apple plist) file in addition to the regular test
            report (-t).  This option is incompatible with the -i
            (interval) and -n (repeat-count) options.

       -R   Retries tests when the "server-error-busy" status code is
            returned.

       -S   Forces (dedicated) TLS encryption when connecting to the
            server.

       -T seconds
            Specifies a timeout for IPP requests in seconds.

       -V version
            Specifies the default IPP version to use: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0,
            2.1, or 2.2. If not specified, version 1.1 is used.

       -X   Specifies that XML (Apple plist) output is desired instead
            of the plain text report.  This option is incompatible with
            the -i (interval) and -n (repeat-count) options.

       -c   Specifies that CSV (comma-separated values) output is
            desired instead of the plain text output.

       -d name=value
            Defines the named variable.

       -f filename
            Defines the default request filename for tests.

       -h   Validate HTTP response headers.

       -i seconds
            Specifies that the (last) testfile should be repeated at the
            specified interval.  This option is incompatible with the -X
            (XML plist output) option.

       -l   Specifies that plain text output is desired.

       -n repeat-count
            Specifies that the (last) testfile should be repeated the
            specified number of times.  This option is incompatible with
            the -X (XML plist output) option.

       -q   Be quiet and produce no output.

       -t   Specifies that CUPS test report output is desired instead of
            the plain text output.

       -v   Specifies that all request and response attributes should be
            output in CUPS test mode (-t).  This is the default for XML
            output.

EXIT STATUS         top

       The ipptool program returns 0 if all tests were successful and 1
       otherwise.
