.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 curley 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
      EXPECT job-id OF-TYPE integer
      EXPECT job-uri OF-TYPE uri
      EXPECT job-state OF-TYPE enum
      EXPECT job-originating-user-name OF-TYPE name WITH-VALUE "$user"
    }

.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
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
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:
chunked" header. This is the default and is equivalent to specifying "-c" on the
\fIipptool\fR command-line. Support for chunked requests is required for
conformance with all versions of IPP.
.TP 5
TRANSFER length
Specifies that tests will, by default, use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:"
header. This is equivalent to specifying "-l" on the \fIipptool\fR command-line.
Support for content length requests is required for conformance with all
versions of IPP.
.TP 5
VERSION 1.0
.TP 5
VERSION 1.1
.TP 5
VERSION 2.0
.TP 5
VERSION 2.1
.TP 5
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the default IPP version number to use for the tests that follow.

.SH TEST DIRECTIVES
The following directives are understood in a test:
.TP 5
ATTR tag attribute-name value(s)
Adds an attribute to the test request. Values are separated by the comma (",")
character - escape commas using the "\" character.
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
DELAY seconds
Specifies a delay before this test will be run.
.TP 5
DISPLAY attribute-name
Specifies that value of the named attribute should be output as part of the
test report.
.TP 5
EXPECT attribute-name [ predicate(s) ]
.TP 5
EXPECT ?attribute-name predicate(s)
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
FILE filename
Specifies a file to include at the end of the request. This is typically used
when sending a test print file.
.TP 5
GROUP tag
Specifies the group tag for subsequent attributes in the request.
.TP 5
IGNORE-ERRORS yes
.TP 5
IGNORE-ERRORS no
Specifies whether \fIipptool\fR will ignore errors and continue with subsequent
tests.
.TP 5
NAME "literal string"
Specifies the human-readable name of the test.
.TP 5
OPERATION operation-code
Specifies the operation to be performed.
.TP 5
REQUEST-ID number
.TP 5
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).
.TP 5
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 \fIipptool\fR program.
.TP 5
SKIP-IF-DEFINED variable-name
.TP 5
SKIP-IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Specifies that the current test should be skipped when the variable is or is not
defined.
.TP 5
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR yes
.TP 5
SKIP-PREVIOUS-ERROR no
Specifies whether \fIipptool\fR will skip the current test if the previous test
resulted in an error/failure.
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
TRANSFER auto
Specifies that this test will use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" if it has an
attached file or "Content-Length:" otherwise.
.TP 5
TRANSFER chunked
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
header.
.TP 5
TRANSFER length
Specifies that this test will use the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:" header.
.TP 5
VERSION 1.0
.TP 5
VERSION 1.1
.TP 5
VERSION 2.0
.TP 5
VERSION 2.1
.TP 5
VERSION 2.2
Specifies the IPP version number to use for this test.

.SH EXPECT PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the EXPECT test directive:
.TP 5
COUNT number
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the specified number of values.
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
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.
.TP 5
DEFINE-VALUE variable-name
Defines the variable to the value of the attribute when the EXPECT condition
matches.
.TP 5
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable is defined.
.TP 5
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the EXPECT conditions apply only if the specified variable is not
defined.
.TP 5
IN-GROUP tag
Requires the EXPECT attribute to be in the specified group tag.
.TP 5
OF-TYPE tag[,tag,...]
Requires the EXPECT attribute to use the specified value tag(s).
.TP 5
SAME-COUNT-AS attribute-name
Requires the EXPECT attribute to have the same number of values as the specified
parallel attribute.
.TP 5
WITH-VALUE "literal string"
Requires at least one value of the EXPECT attribute to match the literal string.
Comparisons are case-sensitive.
.TP 5
WITH-VALUE "/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.

.SH STATUS PREDICATES
The following predicates are understood following the STATUS test directive:
.TP 5
IF-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is defined.
.TP 5
IF-NOT-DEFINED variable-name
Makes the STATUS apply only if the specified variable is not defined.
