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,
       JSON, 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:

       --bearer-token BEARER-TOKEN
            Specifies the OAuth 2.0 token to use for HTTP Bearer
            authentication (RFC 6750).

       --client-namne CLIENT-NAME
            Specifies the client name to use for the TLS client
            certificate.  If not specified, no client certificate is used
            during negotiation.

       --help
            Shows program help.

       --ippfile FILENAME
            Specifies that the test results should be written to the
            named IPP file.  These files can be used with programs like
            ippeveprinter(1).

       --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 CSV (comma-separated values) output is desired
            instead of the plain text output.

       -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.

       -d NAME=VALUE
            Defines the named variable.

       -E   Forces TLS encryption when connecting to the server using the
            HTTP "Upgrade" header.

       -f FILENAME
            Defines the default request filename for tests.

       -h   Validate HTTP response headers.

       -i SECONDS
            Specifies that the (last) testfile should be repeated at the
            specified interval.  This option is incompatible with the
            --ippfile (IPP file output) and -P or -X (XML plist output)
            options.

       -I   Specifies that ipptool will continue past errors.

       -j   Specifies that ipptool will produce JSON output.

       -l   Specifies that plain text output is desired.

       -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.

       -n REPEAT-COUNT
            Specifies that the (last) testfile should be repeated the
            specified number of times.  This option is incompatible with
            the --ippfile (IPP file output) and -P or -X (XML plist
            output) options.

       -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.

       -q   Be quiet and produce no output.

       -S   Forces (dedicated) TLS encryption when connecting to the
            server.

       -t   Specifies that CUPS test report output is desired instead of
            the plain text output.

       -T SECONDS
            Specifies a timeout for IPP requests in SECONDS.

       -v   Specifies that all request and response attributes should be
            output in CUPS test mode (-t).  This is the default for CSV,
            JSON, and XML output.

       -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.

EXIT STATUS         top
