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.
compatibility
The ipptool program is unique to CUPS.
