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.
       --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.
       -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.
       -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
