34 .SH SUPPORTED REGISTRATION TYPES
35 \fIippfind\fR supports the following registration types:
38 HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP, RFC 2616)
41 Secure HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTPS, RFC 2818)
44 Internet Printing Protocol (IPP, RFC 2911)
47 Secure Internet Printing Protocol (IPPS, draft)
50 Line Printer Daemon (LPD, RFC 1179)
67 Specify find timeout in seconds. If 1 or less, \fIippfind\fR stops as soon as it thinks it has found everything. The default is 1 second.
70 Specifies the IPP version when listing. Supported values are 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2.
73 \fIippfind\fR finds printer services registered with the local DNS infrastructure or available through the local links.
76 \fIippfind\fR supports expressions much like the \fIfind(1)\fR utility. However, unlike \fIfind\fR, \fIippfind\fR uses POSIX regular expressions instead of shell filename matching patterns. If -e, --exec, -l, --ls, -p, --print, --print-name, -q, --quiet, or -s is not specified, \fIippfind\fR adds --print to print the service URI of anything it finds. The following expressions are supported:
81 True if the domain matches the given regular expression.
83 -e utility [argument ...] ;
85 --exec utility [argument ...] ;
86 Executes the specified program if the current result is true. "{foo}" arguments are replaced with the corresponding value - see SUBSTITUTIONS below.
94 Lists attributes returned by Get-Printer-Attributes for IPP printers and traditional \fIfind\fR "-ls" output for HTTP URLs. The result is true if the URI is accessible, false otherwise.
97 True if the service is local to this computer.
102 True if the service instance name matches the given regular expression.
105 True if the URI resource path matches the given regular expression.
110 Prints the URI if the result of previous expressions is true. The result is always true.
115 Quiet mode - just returns the exit codes below.
120 True if the service is not local to this computer.
125 Prints the service instance name if the result of previous expressions is true. The result is always true.
133 True if the TXT record contains the named key.
135 --txt-\fIkey\fR regex
136 True if the TXT record contains the named key and matches the given regular
142 True if the URI matches the given regular expression.
144 Expressions may also contain modifiers:
147 Group the result of expressions.
152 Unary NOT of the expression.
154 expression expression
156 expression --and expression
157 Logical AND of expressions.
159 expression --or expression
160 Logical OR of expressions.
163 The substitutions for "{foo}" in -e and --exec are:
169 Domain name, e.g., "example.com.", "local.", etc.
172 Fully-qualified domain name, e.g., "printer.example.com.", "printer.local.", etc.
175 Service instance name, e.g., "My Fine Printer".
178 Port number for server, typically 631 for IPP and 80 for HTTP.
181 DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "_ipp._tcp", "_http._tcp", etc.
184 URI scheme for DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "ipp", "http", etc.
187 URI for service, e.g., "ipp://printer.local./ipp/print", "http://printer.local./", etc.
190 Value of TXT record \fIkey\fR (lowercase).
192 .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
193 When executing a program, \fIippfind\fR sets the following environment variables for the matching service registration:
195 IPPFIND_SERVICE_DOMAIN
196 Domain name, e.g., "example.com.", "local.", etc.
198 IPPFIND_SERVICE_HOSTNAME
199 Fully-qualified domain name, e.g., "printer.example.com.", "printer.local.", etc.
202 Service instance name, e.g., "My Fine Printer".
205 Port number for server, typically 631 for IPP and 80 for HTTP.
207 IPPFIND_SERVICE_REGTYPE
208 DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "_ipp._tcp", "_http._tcp", etc.
210 IPPFIND_SERVICE_SCHEME
211 URI scheme for DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "ipp", "http", etc.
214 URI for service, e.g., "ipp://printer.local./ipp/print", "http://printer.local./", etc.
216 IPPFIND_TXT_\fIKEY\fR
217 Values of TXT record \fIKEY\fR (uppercase).
220 \fIippfind\fR returns 0 if the result for all processed expressions is true, 1 if the result of any processed expression is false, 2 if browsing or any query or resolution failed, 3 if an undefined option or invalid expression was specified, and 4 if it ran out of memory.
