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⟩.

AUTHOR

       Steam is maintained by Valve, and is proprietary software.

       This manual page was written by Simon McVittie for the Debian project (and may be used by  others)  as  a
       replacement for the non-free man page provided by Valve.
