DESCRIPTION
ipptool sends IPP requests to the specified URI and tests and/or displays the results. Each named file 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 file format is described in
ipptoolfile(5).
OPTIONS
The following options are recognized by
ipptool:
- -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.
- -S
-
Forces (dedicated) SSL 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) file 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) file should be repeated the specified number of times. This option is incompatible with the -X (XML plist output) option.
- -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.
