38 \fBippfind\fR finds services registered with a DNS server or available through local devices.
39 Its primary purpose is to find IPP printers and show their URIs, show their current status, or run commands.
40 .SS REGISTRATION TYPES
41 \fBippfind\fR supports the following registration types:
44 HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP, RFC 2616)
47 Secure HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTPS, RFC 2818)
50 Internet Printing Protocol (IPP, RFC 2911)
53 Secure Internet Printing Protocol (IPPS, draft)
56 Line Printer Daemon (LPD, RFC 1179)
58 \fBippfind\fR supports expressions much like the
63 \fBippfind\fR uses POSIX regular expressions instead of shell filename matching patterns.
64 If \fI\-\-exec\fR, \fI\-l\fR, \fI\-\-ls\fR, \fI\-p\fR, \fI\-\-print\fR, \fI\-\-print\-name\fR, \fI\-q\fR, \fI\-\-quiet\fR, \fI\-s\fR, or \fI\-x\fR is not specified, \fBippfind\fR adds \fI\-\-print\fR to print the service URI of anything it finds.
65 The following expressions are supported:
69 \fB\-\-domain \fIregex\fR
70 True if the domain matches the given regular expression.
77 \fB\-\-host \fIregex\fR
78 True is the hostname matches the given regular expression.
83 Lists attributes returned by Get-Printer-Attributes for IPP printers and traditional \fIfind\fR "-ls" output for HTTP URLs.
84 The result is true if the URI is accessible, false otherwise.
87 True if the service is local to this computer.
91 \fB\-\-name \fIregex\fR
92 True if the service instance name matches the given regular expression.
94 \fB\-\-path \fIregex\fR
95 True if the URI resource path matches the given regular expression.
97 \fB\-P \fInumber\fR[\fB-\fInumber\fR]
99 \fB\-\-port \fInumber\fR[\fB-\fInumber\fR]
100 True if the port matches the given number or range.
105 Prints the URI if the result of previous expressions is true.
106 The result is always true.
111 Quiet mode - just returns the exit codes below.
116 True if the service is not local to this computer.
121 Prints the service instance name if the result of previous expressions is true.
122 The result is always true.
130 True if the TXT record contains the named key.
132 \fB\-\-txt\-\fIkey regex\fR
133 True if the TXT record contains the named key and matches the given regular expression.
137 \fB\-\-uri \fIregex\fR
138 True if the URI matches the given regular expression.
140 \fB\-x \fIutility \fR[ \fIargument \fR... ] \fB;\fR
142 \fB\-\-exec \fIutility \fR[ \fIargument \fR... ] \fB;\fR
143 Executes the specified program if the current result is true.
144 "{foo}" arguments are replaced with the corresponding value - see SUBSTITUTIONS below.
146 Expressions may also contain modifiers:
148 \fB( \fIexpression \fB)\fR
149 Group the result of expressions.
151 \fB! \fIexpression\fR
153 \fB\-\-not \fIexpression\fR
154 Unary NOT of the expression.
156 \fIexpression expression\fR
158 \fIexpression \fB\-\-and \fIexpression\fR
159 Logical AND of expressions.
161 \fIexpression \fB\-\-or \fIexpression\fR
162 Logical OR of expressions.
164 The substitutions for "{foo}" in \fI\-e\fR and \fI\-\-exec\fR are:
167 Domain name, e.g., "example.com.", "local.", etc.
169 .B {service_hostname}
170 Fully-qualified domain name, e.g., "printer.example.com.", "printer.local.", etc.
173 Service instance name, e.g., "My Fine Printer".
176 Port number for server, typically 631 for IPP and 80 for HTTP.
179 DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "_ipp._tcp", "_http._tcp", etc.
182 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.
189 \fB{txt_\fIkey\fB}\fR
190 Value of TXT record \fIkey\fR (lowercase).
192 \fBippfind\fR supports the following options:
198 Show program version.
201 Use IPv4 when listing.
204 Use IPv6 when listing.
207 Specify find timeout in seconds.
208 If 1 or less, \fBippfind\fR stops as soon as it thinks it has found everything.
209 The default timeout is 1 second.
212 Specifies the IPP version when listing.
213 Supported values are "1.1", "2.0", "2.1", and "2.2".
215 \fBippfind\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.
217 When executing a program, \fBippfind\fR sets the following environment variables for the matching service registration:
219 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_DOMAIN
220 Domain name, e.g., "example.com.", "local.", etc.
222 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_HOSTNAME
223 Fully-qualified domain name, e.g., "printer.example.com.", "printer.local.", etc.
225 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_NAME
226 Service instance name, e.g., "My Fine Printer".
228 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_PORT
229 Port number for server, typically 631 for IPP and 80 for HTTP.
231 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_REGTYPE
232 DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "_ipp._tcp", "_http._tcp", etc.
234 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_SCHEME
235 URI scheme for DNS-SD registration type, e.g., "ipp", "http", etc.
237 .B IPPFIND_SERVICE_URI
238 URI for service, e.g., "ipp://printer.local./ipp/print", "http://printer.local./", etc.
240 .B IPPFIND_TXT_\fIKEY\fR
241 Values of TXT record \fIKEY\fR (uppercase).
243 To show the status of all registered IPP printers on your network, run:
249 Similarly, to send a PostScript test page to every PostScript printer, run:
252 ippfind \-\-txt\-pdl application/postscript \-\-exec ipptool
253 \-f onepage\-letter.ps '{}' print\-job.test \\;
