ipptool [ --help ] [ --bearer-token BEARER-TOKEN ] [ --client-name CLIENT-NAME ] [ --ippfile FILENAME ] [ --stop-after-include-error ] [ --version ] [ -4 ] [ -6 ] [ -c ] [ -C ] [ -d NAME=VALUE ] [ -E ] [ -f FILENAME ] [ -h ] [ -i SECONDS ] [ -I ] [ -j ] [ -L ] [ -n REPEAT-COUNT ] [ -P FILENAME.plist ] [ -q ] [ -R ] [ -S ] [ -t ] [ -T SECONDS ] [ -v ] [ -V VERSION ] [ -X ] 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, 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).
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.
The ipptool program returns 0 if all tests were successful and 1 otherwise.
