16 ipptoolfile \- ipptool file format
19 The \fIipptool(1)\fR program accepts free-form plain text files that describe one or more IPP requests. Comments start with the "#" character and continue to the end of the line. Each request is enclosed by curley braces, for example:
24 # The name of the test
25 NAME "Print PostScript Job"
29 GROUP operation-attributes-tag
30 ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
31 ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
32 ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
33 ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
36 # The response to expect
38 EXPECT attributes-charset OF-TYPE charset
39 EXPECT attributes-natural-language OF-TYPE naturalLanguage
40 EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer
41 EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri
44 # The name of the test
45 NAME "Get Attributes of PostScript Job"
48 OPERATION Get-Job-Attributes
49 GROUP operation-attributes-tag
50 ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
51 ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
52 ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
53 ATTR integer job-id $job-id
54 ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
56 # The response to expect

67 .SH TOP-LEVEL DIRECTIVES
68 The following directives can be used outside of a test:
73 DEFINE variable-name value
74 Defines the named variable to the given value. This is equivalent to specifying
75 "-d variable-name=value" on the \fIipptool\fR command-line.
77 DEFINE-DEFAULT variable-name value
78 Defines the named variable to the given value if it does not already have a
84 Specifies whether, by default, \fIipptool\fR will ignore errors and continue with
90 Includes another test file. The first form includes a file relative to the
91 current test file, while the second form includes a file from the \fIipptool\fR
94 INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name "filename"
96 INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name <filename>
97 Includes another test file if the named variable is defined. The first form
98 includes a file relative to the current test file, while the second form
99 includes a file from the \fIipptool\fR include directory.
101 INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name "filename"
103 INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name <filename>
104 Includes another test file if the named variable is not defined. The first form
105 includes a file relative to the current test file, while the second form
106 includes a file from the \fIipptool\fR include directory.
108 SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
110 SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
111 Specifies that the remainder of the test file should be skipped when the
112 variable is or is not defined.
115 Specifies that tests will, by default, use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" for
116 requests with attached files and "Content-Length:" for requests without attached
120 Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-Encoding:
121 chunked" header. This is the default and is equivalent to specifying "-c" on the
122 \fIipptool\fR command-line. Support for chunked requests is required for
123 conformance with all versions of IPP.
126 Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:"
127 header. This is equivalent to specifying "-l" on the \fIipptool\fR command-line.
128 Support for content length requests is required for conformance with all
140 Specifies the default IPP version number to use for the tests that follow.
143 The following directives are understood in a test:
145 ATTR tag attribute-name value(s)
146 Adds an attribute to the test request. Values are separated by the comma (",")
147 character - escape commas using the "\" character.
149 ATTR collection attribute-name { MEMBER tag member-name value(s) ... } [ ... { ... } ]
150 Adds a collection attribute to the test request. Member attributes follow the
151 same syntax as regular attributes and can themselves be nested collections.
152 Multiple collection values can be supplied as needed.
155 Specifies a delay before this test will be run.
157 DISPLAY attribute-name
158 Specifies that value of the named attribute should be output as part of the
161 EXPECT attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
163 EXPECT ?attribute-name predicate(s)
165 EXPECT !attribute-name
166 Specifies that the response must/may/must not include the named attribute.
167 Additional requirements can be added as predicates - see the "EXPECT PREDICATES"
168 section for more information on predicates.
171 Specifies a file to include at the end of the request. This is typically used
172 when sending a test print file.
175 Specifies the group tag for subsequent attributes in the request.
180 Specifies whether \fIipptool\fR will ignore errors and continue with subsequent
183 NAME "literal string"
184 Specifies the human-readable name of the test.
186 OPERATION operation-code
187 Specifies the operation to be performed.
192 Specifies the request-id value to use in the request, either an integer or the
193 word "random" to use a randomly generated value (the default).
196 Specifies an alternate resource path that is used for the HTTP POST request.
197 The default is the resource from the URI provided to the \fIipptool\fR program.
199 SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
201 SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
202 Specifies that the current test should be skipped when the variable is or is not
205 SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR yes
207 SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR no
208 Specifies whether \fIipptool\fR will skip the current test if the previous test
209 resulted in an error/failure.
211 STATUS status-code [ predicate ]
212 Specifies an expected response status-code value. Additional requirements can be
213 added as predicates - see the "STATUS PREDICATES" section for more information
217 Specifies that this test will use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" if it has an
218 attached file or "Content-Length:" otherwise.
221 Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
225 Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:" header.
236 Specifies the IPP version number to use for this test.
238 .SH EXPECT PREDICATES
239 The following predicates are understood following the EXPECT test directive:
242 Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the specified number of values.
244 DEFINE-MATCH variable-name
245 Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition matches. A side-effect of
246 this predicate is that this EXPECT will never fail a test.
248 DEFINE-NO-MATCH variable-name
249 Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition does not match. A side-
250 effect of this predicate is that this EXPECT will never fail a test.
252 DEFINE-VALUE variable-name
253 Defines the variable to the value of the attribute when the EXPECT condition
256 IF-DEFINED variable-name
257 Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable is defined.
259 IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
260 Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable is not
264 Requires the EXPECT attribute to be in the specified group tag.
266 OF-TYPE tag[,tag,...]
267 Requires the EXPECT attribute to use the specified value tag(s).
269 SAME-COUNT-AS attribute-name
270 Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the same number of values as the specified
273 WITH-VALUE "literal string"
274 Requires at least one value of the EXPECT attribute to match the literal string.
275 Comparisons are case-sensitive.
277 WITH-VALUE "/regular expression/"
278 Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the regular expression,
279 which must conform to the POSIX regular expression syntax.
280 Comparisons are case-sensitive.
282 .SH STATUS PREDICATES
283 The following predicates are understood following the STATUS test directive:
285 IF-DEFINED variable-name
286 Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is defined.
288 IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
289 Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is not defined.

454 The \fIipptool\fR program maintains a list of variables that can be used in any
455 literal string or attribute value by specifying "$variable-name". Aside from
