NAME
     ipptool - perform internet printing protocol requests

SYNOPSIS
     ipptool  [ --help ] [ --ippserver filename ] [ --stop-after-include-error ]
     [ --version ] [ -4 ] [ -6 ] [ -C ] [ -E ] [ -I ] [ -L ] [ -P filename.plist
     ] [ -S ] [ -T seconds ] [ -V version ] [ -X ] [ -c ] [ -d name=value ] [ -f
     filename ] [ -h ] [ -i seconds ] [ -j ] [ -n repeat-count ] [ -q ] [ -t ] [
     -v ] printer-uri testfile [ ...  testfile ]

DESCRIPTION
     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).

OPTIONS
     The following options are recognized by ipptool:

     --help
	  Shows program help.

     --ippserver filename
	  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  direc-
	  tive.

     --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 "Trans-
	  fer-Encoding: chunked" header, which is required  for  conformance  by
	  all  versions of IPP.  The default is to use "Transfer-Encoding: chun-
	  ked" for requests with attached files and  "Content-Length:"	for  re-
	  quests 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  "Con-
	  tent-Length:"  header,  which  is required for conformance by all ver-
	  sions of IPP.  The default is to use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"  for
	  requests  with attached files and "Content-Length:" for requests with-
	  out attached files.

     -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.

     -S   Forces (dedicated) TLS 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.

     -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 -X (XML plist  output)
	  option.

     -j   Specifies that ipptool will produce JSON output.

     -l   Specifies that plain text output is desired.

     -n repeat-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.

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