.SH NAME
ipptoolfile \- ipptool file format
.SH DESCRIPTION
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 curly braces, for example:
.nf
# This is a comment
{
# The name of the test
NAME "Print PostScript Job"
# 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 attributes-charset OF-TYPE charset
EXPECT attributes-natural-language OF-TYPE naturalLanguage
EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer
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 attributes-charset OF-TYPE charset
EXPECT attributes-natural-language OF-TYPE naturalLanguage

.SH TOP-LEVEL DIRECTIVES
The following directives can be used outside of a test:
.TP 5
{ test }
Defines a test.
.TP 5
DEFINE variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value. This is equivalent to specifying
"-d variable-name=value" on the \fIipptool\fR command-line.
.TP 5
DEFINE-DEFAULT variable-name value
Defines the named variable to the given value if it does not already have a
value.
.TP 5
FILE-ID "identifier"
Specifies an identifier string for the current file.
.TP 5
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
.TP 5
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether, by default, \fIipptool\fR will ignore errors and continue with
subsequent tests.
.TP 5
INCLUDE "filename"
.TP 5
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 \fIipptool\fR
include directory.
.TP 5
INCLUDE-IF-DEFINED name "filename"
.TP 5
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 \fIipptool\fR include directory.
.TP 5
INCLUDE-IF-NOT-DEFINED name "filename"
.TP 5
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 \fIipptool\fR include directory.
.TP 5
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
STOP-AFTER-INCLUDE-ERROR no
.TP 5
STOP-AFTER-INCLUDE-ERROR yes
Specifies whether tests will be stopped after an error in an included file.
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-Encoding:

\fIipptool\fR command-line. Support for chunked requests is required for
conformance with all versions of IPP.
.TP 5

character - escape commas using the "\" character.
.TP 5
ATTR collection attribute-name { MEMBER tag member-name value(s) ... } [ ... { ... } ]

Additional requirements can be added as predicates - see the "EXPECT PREDICATES"
section for more information on predicates.
.TP 5

when sending a test print file.

on predicates.
.TP 5
