ipptool - perform internet printing protocol requests
ipptool [ -4 ] [ -6 ] [ -C ] [ -E ] [ -I ] [ -L ] [ -S ] [ -T seconds ] [ -V version ] [ -X ] [ -c ] [ -d name=value ] [ -f filename ] [ -i seconds ] [ -n repeat-count ] [ -q ] [ -t ] [ -v ] URI filename [ ... filenameN ]
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).
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. |
The ipptool program is unique to CUPS.
