NAME

       steam - Valve's Steam digital software delivery system

SYNOPSIS

       steam [OPTIONS] [URL]

DESCRIPTION

       Steam  ⟨https://www.steampowered.com/⟩  is a software content delivery system developed by
       Valve Software ⟨https://www.valvesoftware.com/⟩.  There is some free  software  available,
       but for the most part the content delivered is non-free.

       Debian  provides  a  wrapper  script  /usr/games/steam which will download and install the
       proprietary Steam interface on-demand.

OPTIONS

       All options provided to the steam script are forwarded to the proprietary Steam client.

       The options that are available change frequently, and  unrecognised  options  are  usually
       ignored.         An         incomplete         list        is        available        from
       ⟨https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Steam⟩.

       Steam also accepts URLs with the steam: or steamlink: URL schemes. Some of  the  available
       actions                       are                       documented                      in
       ⟨https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_browser_protocol⟩.
