NAME

       quake-server - dedicated server for Quake

SYNOPSIS

       quake-server [WRAPPER-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-COMMANDS]...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the quake-server command.

       Quake  is  a  popular  first-person  shooter  game  that appeared in 1996, released by iD Software.  This
       wrapper script will launch the Quake dedicated server.

       The game data needs to be installed independently using the 'game-data-packager' program, and by  default
       it will be looked for at /usr/share/games/quake.

       This  wrapper  script  accepts  the  two common GNU-style options to get information on the program.  Any
       further arguments are passed to the  engine  unmodified.   Consult  the  engine  documentation  for  full
       details,  but  most  engines support a syntax whereby engine switches are prefixed with a minus sign, and
       you can give console commands by prefixing with a plus sign.  See the examples section  for  some  common
       cases.

OPTIONS

       These options are accepted for WRAPPER-OPTIONS in the synopsis.

              Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Show version of program.
