72 .SH DESCRIPTION
73 \fIippfind\fR finds printer services registered with the local DNS infrastructure or available through the local links.
74
75 .SH EXPRESSIONS
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:
77 .TP 5
78 -d regex
79 .TP 5
80 --domain regex
81 True if the domain matches the given regular expression.
82 .TP 5
83 -e utility [argument ...] ;
84 .TP 5
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.
87 .TP 5
88 --false
89 Always false.
90 .TP 5
91 -l
92 .TP 5
93 --ls
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.
95 .TP 5
96 --local
97 True if the service is local to this computer.
98 .TP 5
99 -n regex
100 .TP 5
101 --name regex
102 True if the service instance name matches the given regular expression.
103 .TP 5
104 --path regex
105 True if the URI resource path matches the given regular expression.
106 .TP 5
107 -p
108 .TP 5
109 --print
110 Prints the URI if the result of previous expressions is true. The result is always true.
111 .TP 5
112 -q
113 .TP 5
114 --quiet
115 Quiet mode - just returns the exit codes below.
116 .TP 5
117 -r
118 .TP 5
119 --remote
120 True if the service is not local to this computer.
121 .TP 5
122 -s
123 .TP 5
124 --print-name
125 Prints the service instance name if the result of previous expressions is true. The result is always true.
126 .TP 5
127 --true
128 Always true.
129 .TP 5
130 -t key
131 .TP 5
132 --txt key
133 True if the TXT record contains the named key.
134 .TP 5
135 --txt-\fIkey\fR regex
136 True if the TXT record contains the named key and matches the given regular
137 expression.
138 .TP 5
139 -u regex
140 .TP 5
141 --uri regex
142 True if the URI matches the given regular expression.
143 .PP
144 Expressions may also contain modifiers:
145 .TP 5
146 ( expression )
147 Group the result of expressions.
148 .TP 5
149 ! expression
150 .TP 5
151 --not expression
152 Unary NOT of the expression.
153 .TP 5
154 expression expression
155 .TP 5
156 expression --and expression
157 Logical AND of expressions.
158 .TP 5
159 expression --or expression
160 Logical OR of expressions.
161
