<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
<b>ipptool</b>
sends IPP requests to the specified
<i>printer-uri</i>
and tests and/or displays the results.
Each named
<i>testfile</i>
defines one or more requests, including the expected response status, attributes, and values.
Output is either a plain text, formatted text, CSV, or XML report on the standard output, with a non-zero exit status indicating that one or more tests have failed.
The
<i>testfile</i>
format is described in
<b>ipptoolfile</b>(5).

<b>ippserver</b>
attributes file.
<dt><b>--stop-after-include-error</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Tells
<b>ipptool</b>

<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies that requests should be sent using the HTTP/1.1 "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header, which is required for conformance by all versions of IPP.
The default is to use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" for requests with attached files and "Content-Length:" for requests without attached files.
<dt><b>-E</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Forces TLS encryption when connecting to the server using the HTTP "Upgrade" header.

<dt><b>-q</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Be quiet and produce no output.
<dt><b>-t</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies that CUPS test report output is desired instead of the plain text output.
