  37 .SH DESCRIPTION
  38 \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.
  39 .SH OPTIONS
  40 The following options are recognized by \fIipptool\fR:
  41 .TP 5
  42 -4
  43 Specifies that \fIipptool\fR must connect to the printer or server using IPv4.
  44 .TP 5
  45 -6
  46 Specifies that \fIipptool\fR must connect to the printer or server using IPv6.
  47 .TP 5
  48 -C
  49 Specifies 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.
  50 .TP 5
  51 -E
  52 Forces TLS encryption when connecting to the server using the HTTP "Upgrade" header.
  53 .TP 5
  54 -I
  55 Specifies that \fIipptool\fR will continue past errors.
  56 .TP 5
  57 -L
  58 Specifies 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.
  59 .TP 5
  60 -S
  61 Forces (dedicated) SSL encryption when connecting to the server.
  62 .TP 5
  63 -T seconds
  64 Specifies a timeout for IPP requests in seconds.
  65 .TP 5
  66 -V version
  67 Specifies 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.
  68 .TP 5
  69 -X
  70 Specifies 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.
  71 .TP 5
  72 -c
  73 Specifies that CSV (comma-separated values) output is desired instead of the plain text output.
  74 .TP 5
  75 -d name=value
  76 Defines the named variable.
  77 .TP 5
  78 -f filename
  79 Defines the default request filename for tests.
  80 .TP 5
  81 -i seconds
  82 Specifies that the (last) file should be repeated at the specified interval. This option is incompatible with the \fI-X\fR (XML plist output) option.
  83 .TP 5
  84 -l
  85 Specifies that plain text output is desired.
  86 .TP 5
  87 -n repeat-count
  88 Specifies 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.
  89 .TP 5
  90 -t
  91 Specifies that CUPS test report output is desired instead of the plain text output.
  92 .TP 5
  93 -v
  94 Specifies that all request and response attributes should be output in CUPS test mode (\fI-t\fR). This is the default for XML output.
  95 .SH COMPATIBILITY
  96 The \fIipptool\fR program is unique to CUPS.
