35.SH DESCRIPTION
36\fIipptool\fR 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 \fIipptoolfile(5)\fR.
37.SH OPTIONS
38The following options are recognized by \fIipptool\fR:
39.TP 5
40-C
41Specifies 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.
42.TP 5
43-E
44Forces TLS encryption when connecting to the server using the HTTP "Upgrade" header.
45.TP 5
46-L
47Specifies 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.
48.TP 5
49-S
50Forces (dedicated) SSL encryption when connecting to the server.
51.TP 5
52-V version
53Specifies 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.
54.TP 5
55-X
56Specifies that XML (Apple plist) output is desired instead of the plain text report. This option is incompatible with the \fI-i\fR (interval) and \fI-n\fR (repeat-count) options.
57.TP 5
58-c
59Specifies that CSV (comma-separated values) output is desired instead of the plain text output.
60.TP 5
61-d name=value
62Defines the named variable.
63.TP 5
64-f filename
65Defines the default request filename for tests.
66.TP 5
67-i seconds
68Specifies that the (last) file should be repeated at the specified interval. This option is incompatible with the \fI-x\fR (XML plist output) option.
69.TP 5
70-l
71Specifies that plain text output is desired.
72.TP 5
73-n repeat-count
74Specifies that the (last) file should be repeated the specified number of times. This option is incompatible with the \fI-X\fR (XML plist output) option.
75.TP 5
76-t
77Specifies that CUPS test report output is desired instead of the plain text output.
78.TP 5
79-v
80Specifies that all request and response attributes should be output in CUPS test mode (\fI-t\fR). This is the default for XML output.
81.SH COMPATIBILITY
82The \fIipptool\fR program is unique to CUPS.
