ipptoolfile - ipptool file format
The ipptool(1) program accepts free-form plain text files that
describe one or more IPP requests. Comments start with the "#"
character and continue to the end of the line. Each request is
enclosed by curly braces, for example:
# This is a comment
{
# The name of the test
NAME "Print PDF File"
# The request to send
OPERATION Print-Job
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
ATTR mimeMediaType document-format application/pdf
GROUP job-attributes-tag

TOP-LEVEL DIRECTIVES
The following directives can be used outside of a test:
{ test }
Defines a test.
DEFINE variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value. This is
equivalent to specifying -d variable-name=value on the
ipptool(8) command-line.
DEFINE-DEFAULT variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value if it does not
already have a value.
FILE-ID "identifier"
Specifies an identifier string for the current file.
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether, by default, ipptool(8) will ignore errors and
continue with subsequent tests.
INCLUDE "filename"
INCLUDE <filename>
Includes another test file. The first form includes a file
relative to the current test file, while the second form
includes a file from the ipptool(8) include directory.
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name "filename"
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name <filename>
Includes another test file if the named variable is defined. The
first form includes a file relative to the current test file,
while the second form includes a file from the ipptool(8)
include directory.
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name "filename"
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name <filename>
Includes another test file if the named variable is not defined.
The first form includes a file relative to the current test
file, while the second form includes a file from the ipptool(8)
include directory.
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the remainder of the test file should be skipped
when the variable is or is not defined.
STOP-AFTER-INCLUDE-ERROR no
STOP-AFTER-INCLUDE-ERROR yes
Specifies whether tests will be stopped after an error in an
included file.
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that tests will, by default, use "Transfer-Encoding:
chunked" for requests with attached files and "Content-Length:"
for requests without attached files.
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.1
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header. This is the default and is
equivalent to specifying -c on the ipptool(8) command-line.
Support for chunked requests is required for conformance with
all versions of IPP.
TRANSFER length
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.0
"Content-Length:" header. This is equivalent to specifying -l on
the ipptool(8) command-line. Support for content length requests
is required for conformance with all versions of IPP.
VERSION 1.0
VERSION 1.1
VERSION 2.0
VERSION 2.1
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the default IPP version number to use for the tests
that follow.
TEST DIRECTIVES
The following directives are understood within a test:
ATTR out-of-band-tag attribute-name
ATTR tag attribute-name value(s)
Adds an attribute to the test request. Out-of-band tags (admin-
define, delete-attribute, no-value, not-settable, unknown,
unsupported) have no value. Values for other tags are separated
by the comma (",") character - escape commas using the " Common
attributes and values are listed in the IANA IPP registry - see
references below.
ATTR collection attribute-name { MEMBER tag member-name value(s) ...
} [ ... ,{ ... } ]
Adds a collection attribute to the test request. Member
attributes follow the same syntax as regular attributes and can
themselves be nested collections. Multiple collection values
can be supplied as needed, separated by commas.
COMPRESSION deflate
COMPRESSION gzip
COMPRESSION none
Uses the specified compression on the document data following
the attributes in a Print-Job or Send-Document request.
DELAY seconds[,repeat-seconds]
Specifies a delay in seconds before this test will be run. If
two values are specified, the second value is used as the delay
between repeated tests.
DISPLAY attribute-name
Specifies that value of the named attribute should be output as
part of the test report.
EXPECT attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
EXPECT ?attribute-name predicate(s)
EXPECT !attribute-name
Specifies that the response must/may/must not include the named
attribute. Additional requirements can be added as predicates -
see the "EXPECT PREDICATES" section for more information on
predicates. Attribute names can specify member attributes by
separating the attribute and member names with the forward
slash, for example "media-col/media-size/x-dimension".
EXPECT-ALL attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
EXPECT-ALL ?attribute-name predicate(s)
Specifies that the response must/may include the named attribute
and that all occurrences of that attribute must match the given
predicates.
FILE filename
Specifies a file to include at the end of the request. This is
typically used when sending a test print file.
GROUP tag
Specifies the group tag for subsequent attributes in the
request.
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether ipptool(8) will ignore errors and continue
with subsequent tests.
NAME "literal string"
Specifies the human-readable name of the test.
OPERATION operation-code
Specifies the operation to be performed.
PAUSE "message"
Displays the provided message and waits for the user to press a
key to continue.
REQUEST-ID number
REQUEST-ID random
Specifies the request-id value to use in the request, either an
integer or the word "random" to use a randomly generated value
(the default).
RESOURCE path
Specifies an alternate resource path that is used for the HTTP
POST request. The default is the resource from the URI provided
to the ipptool(8) program.
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the current test should be skipped when the
variable is or is not defined.
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR yes
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR no
Specifies whether ipptool(8) will skip the current test if the
previous test resulted in an error/failure.
STATUS status-code [ predicate ]
Specifies an expected response status-code value. Additional
requirements can be added as predicates - see the "STATUS
PREDICATES" section for more information on predicates.
TEST-ID "identifier"
Specifies an identifier string for the current test.
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that this test will use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
if it has an attached file or "Content-Length:" otherwise.
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-
Encoding: chunked" header.
TRANSFER length
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:"
header.
VERSION 1.0
VERSION 1.1
VERSION 2.0
VERSION 2.1
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the IPP version number to use for this test.
EXPECT PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the EXPECT test
directive:
COUNT number
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the specified number of
values.

Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition matches. A
side-effect of this predicate is that this EXPECT will never
fail a test.

Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition does not
match. A side-effect of this predicate is that this EXPECT will
never fail a test.
DEFINE-VALUE variable-name
Defines the variable to the value of the attribute when the
EXPECT condition matches. A side-effect of this predicate is
that this EXPECT will never fail a test.
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable
is defined.
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable
is not defined.
IN-GROUP tag
Requires the EXPECT attribute to be in the specified group tag.
OF-TYPE tag[,tag,...]
Requires the EXPECT attribute to use one of the specified value
tag(s).
REPEAT-LIMIT number
Specifies the maximum number of times to repeat if the REPEAT-
MATCH or REPEAT-NO-MATCH predicate is specified. The default
value is 1000.
REPEAT-MATCH
REPEAT-NO-MATCH
Specifies that the current test should be repeated when the
EXPECT condition matches or does not match.
SAME-COUNT-AS attribute-name
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the same number of values
as the specified parallel attribute.
WITH-ALL-HOSTNAMES "literal string"
WITH-ALL-HOSTNAMES "/regular expression/"
Requires that all URI values contain a matching hostname.

WITH-ALL-VALUES "true"
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the
boolean value given.
WITH-ALL-VALUES "/regular expression/"
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the
regular expression, which must conform to the POSIX regular
expression syntax. Comparisons are case-sensitive.

Requires that at least one value of the EXPECT attribute matches
the regular expression, which must conform to the POSIX regular
expression syntax. Comparisons are case-sensitive.
WITH-VALUE-FROM attribute-name
Requires that the value(s) of the EXPECT attribute matches the
value(s) in the specified attribute. For example, "EXPECT
job-sheets WITH-VALUE-FROM job-sheets-supported" requires that
the "job-sheets" value is listed as a value of the
"job-sheets-supported" attribute.
STATUS PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the STATUS test
directive:
DEFINE-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the STATUS matches. A side-
effect of this predicate is that this STATUS will never fail a
test.
DEFINE-NO-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the STATUS does not match. A
side-effect of this predicate is that this STATUS will never
fail a test.
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is
defined.
