<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
<i>ipptool</i> sends IPP requests to the specified URI and tests and/or displays the results. Each named file 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 file format is described in <a href='man-ipptoolfile.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>ipptoolfile(5)</a>.
<h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
The following options are recognized by <i>ipptool</i>:

<dd>Specifies that <i>ipptool</i> must connect to the printer or server using IPv6.
</dd>
<dt>-C
</dt>
<dd>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.
</dd>
<dt>-E

<dt>-L
</dt>
<dd>Specifies that requests should be sent using the HTTP/1.0 "Content-Length:" 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.
