NAME         top

       ipptoolfile - ipptool file format

DESCRIPTION         top

       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 name of the test
             NAME "Print PDF File"

             # The request to send
             OPERATION Print-Job

   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(s)
            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.

       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.

       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
            Specifies an alternate resource path that is used for the
            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.

       WITH-ALL-HOSTNAMES "literal string"

       WITH-ALL-HOSTNAMES "/regular expression/"
            Requires that all URI values contain a matching hostname.

       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-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.
