NAME
ipptoolfile - ipptool file format
DESCRIPTION
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 PostScript File"
# The request to send
OPERATION Print-Job
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
FILE testfile.ps
# The response to expect
STATUS successful-ok
EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer WITH-VALUE >0
EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri
}
{
# The name of the test
NAME "Get Attributes of PostScript Job"
# The request to send
OPERATION Get-Job-Attributes
GROUP operation-attributes-tag
ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
ATTR uri printer-uri $uri
ATTR integer job-id $job-id
ATTR name requesting-user-name $user
# The response to expect
STATUS successful-ok
EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer WITH-VALUE $job-id
EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri
EXPECT job-state OF-TYPE enum WITH-VALUE 3,4,5,6,7,8,9
EXPECT job-originating-user-name OF-TYPE name WITH-VALUE "$user"
}
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 tag attribute-name value(s)
Adds an attribute to the test request. Values are separated by the
comma (",") character - escape commas using the "
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
Specifies a delay before this test will be run.
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".
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.
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
