a2326b5b 33<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
c277f98c 34<i>ipptool</i> 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 <i>ipptoolfile(5)</i>.
