ipptoolfile(5) OpenPrinting ipptoolfile(5) 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 PDF 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 ATTR mimeMediaType document-format application/pdf GROUP job-attributes-tag ATTR collection media-col { # US Letter plain paper from the "main" tray MEMBER collection media-size { MEMBER integer x-dimension 21590 MEMBER integer y-dimension 27940 } MEMBER integer media-top-margin 423 MEMBER integer media-bottom-margin 423 MEMBER integer media-left-margin 423 MEMBER integer media-right-margin 423 MEMBER keyword media-source "main" MEMBER keyword media-type "stationery" } FILE testfile.pdf # 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 "Wait for Job to Complete" # 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 $job-id EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri EXPECT job-state OF-TYPE enum WITH-VALUE >5 REPEAT-NO-MATCH EXPECT job-originating-user-name OF-TYPE name WITH-VALUE "$user" # Show the job state until completed... DISPLAY job-state DISPLAY job-state-reasons } 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 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 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 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. A default repeat interval of 5 seconds is used if this directive is not provided. 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. 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 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[,...,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[,...,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.
