ipptoolfile(5) OpenPrinting ipptoolfile(5)
ipptoolfile - ipptool file format
The ipptool(1) 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 curly braces, for example:
# This is a comment

# The request to send
OPERATION Print-Job
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8

TOP-LEVEL DIRECTIVES
The following directives can be used outside of a test:
{ test }
Defines a test.
DEFINE variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value. This is
equivalent to specifying -d variable-name=value on the
ipptool(8) command-line.
DEFINE-DEFAULT variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value if it does not
already have a value.
FILE-ID "identifier"
Specifies an identifier string for the current file.
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether, by default, ipptool(8) will ignore errors
and continue with subsequent tests.
INCLUDE "filename"
INCLUDE <filename>
Includes another test file. The first form includes a file
relative to the current test file, while the second form
includes a file from the ipptool(8) include directory.
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name "filename"
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name <filename>
Includes another test file if the named variable is defined.
The first form includes a file relative to the current test
file, while the second form includes a file from the
ipptool(8) include directory.
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name "filename"
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name <filename>
Includes another test file if the named variable is not
defined. The first form includes a file relative to the
current test file, while the second form includes a file from
the ipptool(8) include directory.
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the remainder of the test file should be
skipped when the variable is or is not defined.
STOP-AFTER-INCLUDE-ERROR no
STOP-AFTER-INCLUDE-ERROR yes
Specifies whether tests will be stopped after an error in an
included file.
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that tests will, by default, use "Transfer-
Encoding: chunked" for requests with attached files and
"Content-Length:" for requests without attached files.
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.1
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header. This is the default and
is equivalent to specifying -c on the ipptool(8) command-
line. Support for chunked requests is required for
conformance with all versions of IPP.
TRANSFER length
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.0
"Content-Length:" header. This is equivalent to specifying -l
on the ipptool(8) command-line. Support for content length
requests is required for conformance with all versions of
IPP.
VERSION 1.0
VERSION 1.1
VERSION 2.0
VERSION 2.1
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the default IPP version number to use for the tests
that follow.
TEST DIRECTIVES
The following directives are understood within a test:
ATTR out-of-band-tag attribute-name
ATTR tag attribute-name value[,...,value]
ATTR tag attribute-name "value"[,...,"value"]
ATTR tag attribute-name <hex-value>[,...,<hex-value>]
Adds an attribute to the test request. Out-of-band tags
(admin-define, delete-attribute, no-value, not-settable,
unknown, unsupported) have no value. Values for other tags
are delimited by the comma (",") character - escape commas
using the "\" character. Common attributes and values are
listed in the IANA IPP registry - see references below.
ATTR collection attribute-name { MEMBER tag member-name value(s)
... } [ ... ,{ ... } ]
Adds a collection attribute to the test request. Member
attributes follow the same syntax as regular attributes and
can themselves be nested collections. Multiple collection
values can be supplied as needed, separated by commas.
COMPRESSION deflate
COMPRESSION gzip
COMPRESSION none
Uses the specified compression on the document data following
the attributes in a Print-Job or Send-Document request.
DELAY seconds[,repeat-seconds]
Specifies a delay in seconds before this test will be run.
If two values are specified, the second value is used as the
delay between repeated tests.
DISPLAY attribute-name
Specifies that value of the named attribute should be output
as part of the test report.
EXPECT attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
EXPECT ?attribute-name predicate(s)
EXPECT !attribute-name
Specifies that the response must/may/must not include the
named attribute. Additional requirements can be added as
predicates - see the "EXPECT PREDICATES" section for more
information on predicates. Attribute names can specify member
attributes by separating the attribute and member names with
the forward slash, for example
"media-col/media-size/x-dimension".
EXPECT-ALL attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
EXPECT-ALL ?attribute-name predicate(s)
Specifies that the response must/may include the named
attribute and that all occurrences of that attribute must
match the given predicates.
FILE filename
Specifies a file to include at the end of the request. This
is typically used when sending a test print file.
GENERATE-FILE { parameters }
Specifies that ipptool should generate PWG or Apple raster
data for the printer. See the "GENERATE-FILE PARAMETERS"
section for information on the parameters you can specify.
GROUP tag
Specifies the group tag for subsequent attributes in the
request.
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether ipptool(8) will ignore errors and continue
with subsequent tests.
MONITOR-PRINTER-STATE [ printer-uri ] { EXPECT attribute-name [
predicate(s) ] }
Specifies printer state monitoring tests to run in parallel
with the test operation. The monitoring tests will run until
all of the EXPECT conditions are satisfied or the primary
test operation has completed, whichever occurs first.
NAME "literal string"
Specifies the human-readable name of the test.
OPERATION operation-code
Specifies the operation to be performed.
PASS-IF-DEFINED variable-name
PASS-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the current test should be passed
automatically when the variable is or is not defined.
PAUSE "message"
Displays the provided message and waits for the user to press
a key to continue.
REQUEST-ID number
REQUEST-ID random
Specifies the request-id value to use in the request, either
an integer or the word "random" to use a randomly generated
value (the default).
RESOURCE path

HTTP POST request. The default is the resource from the URI
provided to the ipptool(8) program.
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the current test should be skipped when the
variable is or is not defined.
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR yes
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR no
Specifies whether ipptool(8) will skip the current test if
the previous test resulted in an error/failure.
STATUS status-code [ predicate ]
Specifies an expected response status-code value. Additional
requirements can be added as predicates - see the "STATUS
PREDICATES" section for more information on predicates.
TEST-ID "identifier"
Specifies an identifier string for the current test.
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that this test will use "Transfer-Encoding:
chunked" if it has an attached file or "Content-Length:"
otherwise.
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-
Encoding: chunked" header.
TRANSFER length
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-
Length:" header.
VERSION 1.0
VERSION 1.1
VERSION 2.0
VERSION 2.1
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the IPP version number to use for this test.
EXPECT PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the EXPECT test
directive:
COUNT number
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the specified number of
values.
DEFINE-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition
matches. A side-effect of this predicate is that this EXPECT
will never fail a test.
DEFINE-NO-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the EXPECT condition does
not match. A side-effect of this predicate is that this
EXPECT will never fail a test.
DEFINE-VALUE variable-name
Defines the variable to the value of the attribute when the
EXPECT condition matches. A side-effect of this predicate is
that this EXPECT will never fail a test.
DISPLAY-MATCH "message"
Displays the specified message when the EXPECT condition
matches.
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified
variable is defined.
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified
variable is not defined.
IN-GROUP tag
Requires the EXPECT attribute to be in the specified group
tag.
OF-TYPE tag[(limits)|tag|...]
Requires the EXPECT attribute to use one of the specified
value tag(s). Most value tags also support the specification
of limits in parenthesis, for example "name(42)" would allow
nameWith/WithoutLanguage strings up to 42 octets in length,
"name(4:MAX)" would allow nameWith/WithoutLanguage strings
between 4 and 255 octets in length, and "integer(-273:MAX)"
would allow integers between -273 and 2147483647.
REPEAT-LIMIT number
Specifies the maximum number of times to repeat if the
REPEAT-MATCH or REPEAT-NO-MATCH predicate is specified. The
default value is 1000.
REPEAT-MATCH
REPEAT-NO-MATCH
Specifies that the current test should be repeated when the
EXPECT condition matches or does not match.
SAME-COUNT-AS attribute-name
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the same number of
values as the specified parallel attribute.
SAVE-CONTENT filespec
SAVE-ALL-CONTENT filespec
Saves all "http" or "https" URI values to the specified
location. The filespec value is a filename or directory path
and can contain the special strings "%basename%" to insert
the base filename from the URI, "%ext%" to insert the
extension from the URI, and "%index%" to insert the value
number starting at 1.
WITH-ALL-CONTENT available
WITH-CONTENT available
Requires that all URI values be accessible. A "http" or
"https" URI must respond to a GET request while a "ipp" or
"ipps" URI must respond to a HEAD request.
WITH-ALL-CONTENT valid
WITH-CONTENT valid
Requires that all "http" and "https" URI values be accessible
and provide valid content. Currently ipptool is able to
validate CSS, HTML, ICC, IPP, JPEG, PDF, PNG, and Apple
.strings files.
WITH-ALL-CONTENT valid-icon
WITH-CONTENT valid-icon
Requires that all "http" and "https" URI values be accessible
and provide valid PNG images for icons - 48x48, 128x128, or
512x512 in size with transparency.
WITH-ALL-HOSTNAMES "literal string"
WITH-ALL-HOSTNAMES "/regular expression/"
Requires that all URI values contain a matching hostname.
WITH-ALL-MIME-TYPES mime/type[,...,mime/type]
WITH-MIME-TYPES mime/type[,...,mime/type]
Requires that all URI values provide one of the listed MIME
media types. For non-content tests, the target Printer must
respond to HTTP HEAD requests with the MIME media type that
would be returned by a GET or POST requests. For "http" and
"https" content tests, ipptool sends a HTTP GET request. For
"ipp" and "ipps" content tests, ipptool sends an IPP Get-
Printer-Attributes request.
WITH-ALL-RESOURCES "literal string"
WITH-ALL-RESOURCES "/regular expression/"
Requires that all URI values contain a matching resource
(including leading /).
WITH-ALL-SCHEMES "literal string"
WITH-ALL-SCHEMES "/regular expression/"
Requires that all URI values contain a matching scheme.
WITH-ALL-VALUES "literal string"
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the
literal string. Comparisons are case-sensitive.
WITH-ALL-VALUES <number
WITH-ALL-VALUES =number
WITH-ALL-VALUES >number
WITH-ALL-VALUES number[,...,number]
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the
number(s) or numeric comparison. When comparing
rangeOfInteger values, the "<" and ">" operators only check
the upper bound of the range.
WITH-ALL-VALUES "false"
WITH-ALL-VALUES "true"
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the
boolean value given.
WITH-ALL-VALUES "/regular expression/"
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute match the
regular expression, which must conform to the POSIX regular
expression syntax. Comparisons are case-sensitive.
WITH-ALL-VALUES-FROM attribute-name
Requires that all value(s) of the EXPECT attribute matches
the value(s) in the specified attribute. For example,
"EXPECT-ALL media-col-database/media-source
WITH-ALL-VALUES-FROM media-source-supported" requires that
all the "media-source" values are listed as a value of the
"media-source-supported" attribute.
WITH-DISTINCT-VALUES
Requires that all values of the EXPECT attribute are unique.
Comparisons are case-sensitive. Only charset, collection,
enum, integer, keyword, mimeMediaType, naturalLanguage,
rangeOfInteger, resolution, uriScheme attributes support this
predicate.
WITH-HOSTNAME "literal string"
WITH-HOSTNAME "/regular expression/"
Requires that at least one URI value contains a matching
hostname.
WITH-RESOURCE "literal string"
WITH-RESOURCE "/regular expression/"
Requires that at least one URI value contains a matching
resource (including leading /).
WITH-SCHEME "literal string"
WITH-SCHEME "/regular expression/"
Requires that at least one URI value contains a matching
scheme.
WITH-VALUE "literal string"
Requires that at least one value of the EXPECT attribute
matches the literal string. Comparisons are case-sensitive.
WITH-VALUE <number
WITH-VALUE =number
WITH-VALUE >number
WITH-VALUE number[,...,number]
Requires that at least one value of the EXPECT attribute
matches the number(s) or numeric comparison. When comparing
rangeOfInteger values, the "<" and ">" operators only check
the upper bound of the range.
WITH-VALUE "false"
WITH-VALUE "true"
Requires that at least one value of the EXPECT attribute
matches the boolean value given.
WITH-VALUE "/regular expression/"
Requires that at least one value of the EXPECT attribute
matches the regular expression, which must conform to the
POSIX regular expression syntax. Comparisons are case-
sensitive.
WITH-VALUE-FROM attribute-name
Requires that the value(s) of the EXPECT attribute matches
the value(s) in the specified attribute. For example,
"EXPECT job-sheets WITH-VALUE-FROM job-sheets-supported"
requires that the "job-sheets" value is listed as a value of
the "job-sheets-supported" attribute.
STATUS PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the STATUS test
directive:
DEFINE-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the STATUS matches. A side-
effect of this predicate is that this STATUS will never fail
a test.
DEFINE-NO-MATCH variable-name
Defines the variable to "1" when the STATUS does not match. A
side-effect of this predicate is that this STATUS will never
fail a test.
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is
defined.
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is not
defined.
REPEAT-LIMIT number
Specifies the maximum number of times to repeat. The default
value is 1000.
REPEAT-MATCH
REPEAT-NO-MATCH
Specifies that the current test should be repeated when the
response status-code matches or does not match the value
specified by the STATUS directive.

any.
$user
Inserts the current user's login name.
The GENERATE-FILE directive dynamically generates raster pages for
the destination printer. Each page consists of a black border and
the text "TEST-PAGE ####" repeated in the interior in several
shades of gray and colors. The following parameters are
supported:
COLORSPACE auto
COLORSPACE bi-level
COLORSPACE color
COLORSPACE monochrome
COLORSPACE colorspace_bits
Specifies the output color space and bit depth. "auto"
chooses an available combination with preference for full
color, "bi-level" chooses a B&W (bitmap) color space, "color"
chooses a full color combination, and "monochrome" chooses a
grayscale combination. Otherwise, the value must be one of
the registered IPP "pwg-raster-document-type-supported"
keywords. NOTE: The "device N" color spaces are not current
supported.
FORMAT image/pwg-raster
FORMAT image/urf
Specifies the raster format to use, either "image/pwg-raster"
(PWG Raster) or "image/urf" (Apple Raster). The default is
"image/urf" if supported, "image/pwg-raster" otherwise.
MEDIA default
MEDIA ready
MEDIA media-size-name
Specifies the output media size. "default" uses the
printer's default media size while "ready" uses the first
ready (loaded) media reported by the printer. Other media
size names must conform the PWG self-describing media size
format.
NUM-COPIES copies
Specifies the number of copies to produce. The default is 1
copy.
NUM-PAGES pages
Specifies the number of pages to produce. The default is 1
page for single-sided output and 2 pages for double-sided

of the printer, and "max" uses the highest resolution of the
printer.
SIDES one-sided
SIDES two-sided-long-edge
SIDES two-sided-short-edge
Specifies whether to print on one or both sides of the media.
The default is "two-sided-long-edge" for portrait output and
"two-sided-short-edge" for landscape output when supported by
the printer, otherwise "one-sided" is used.
