NAME

       steam - Valve's Steam digital software delivery system

SYNOPSIS

       steam [OPTIONS] [URL]

DESCRIPTION

       Steam  is  a  software  content delivery system developed by Valve Software.  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.
