Command line options

-v, --version

If this is the only option passed to ioquake3 it will print its version, including whether it’s a dedicated server or client binary and the build date.

Example:

ioq3 1.36_GIT_7ae49cc-2013-11-02 client (Nov  3 2013)
+set <cvar> <value>

Allows to set a cvar, which will override its value from the default config files. This is also the only way to set cvars with the CVAR_INIT flag as a user.
