printer-uri testfile [ ... testfile ]
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).
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.
The ipptool program returns 0 if all tests were successful and 1
otherwise.
