1 November 2017                                       CUPS                                            ipptool(1)

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, 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).

       Get a list of completed jobs for "myprinter":

           ipptool ipp://localhost/printers/myprinter get-completed-jobs.test

       Send email notifications to "user@example.com" when "myprinter" changes:

           ipptool -d recipient=mailto:user@example.com \
               ipp://localhost/printers/myprinter create-printer-subscription.test

       The ipptool program returns 0 if all tests were successful and 1 otherwise.

       The following options are recognized by ipptool:--help
            Shows program help.

       --ippserverfilename
            Specifies that the test results should be written to the named ippserver attributes file.

       --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 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.

       -Pfilename.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.

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

       -Tseconds
            Specifies a timeout for IPP requests in seconds.

       -Vversion
            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.

       -dname=value
            Defines the named variable.

       -ffilename
            Defines the default request filename for tests.

       -h   Validate HTTP response headers.

       -iseconds
            Specifies that the (last) testfile 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.

       -nrepeat-count
            Specifies that the (last) testfile should be repeated the specified number of times.  This option is
            incompatible with the -X (XML plist output) option.

       -q   Be quiet and produce no output.

       -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.
