_srt_log_failure() uses a custom log level that is understood by our
log handler, so it doesn't work until we have set our log handler,
which we do the first time _srt_util_set_glib_log_handler() is called.
If we fail and early-return before the log handler is set, that leads
to errors being reported strangely:

    $ srt-run-outside-ldlp --wrong
    steam-runtime-tools-LOG-0x100: 21:28:47.912: Unknown option --wrong

Not setting the program name also meant that we'd log as `(null)`,
for example:

    (null)[12345]: I: Found 'cat' at /usr/bin/cat

or possibly crash if somehow run with a less tolerant libc.

steam-runtime-tools — Steam Runtime integration for the Steam client

The steam-runtime-tools library provides low-level Unix-specific tools and functionality for the Steam client, including the pressure-vessel tool that runs Steam games in containers.

To support multiple architectures (currently only i386, x86_64 and aarch64 are supported), you will need to build it once for each architecture and install at least the helper tools in /usr/libexec/steam-runtime-tools-0 (the libsteam-runtime-tools-0-helpers package) for every architecture in parallel.

The helper tools are located relative to the shared library, so it's OK to bundle steam-runtime-tools alongside some other stack in this layout:

anything/
    lib/
        x86_64-linux-gnu/
            libsteam-runtime-tools-0.so.0
    libexec/
        steam-runtime-tools-0/
            i386-linux-gnu-*
            x86_64-linux-gnu-*

as long as the program that is linked to libsteam-runtime-tools-0.so.0 can find it (via a RPATH or RUNPATH or by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable).

pressure-vessel — putting Steam in containers

The pressure-vessel/ subdirectory of this project contains the pressure-vessel utilities, which are used by Steam's Steam Linux Runtime (container runtime) compatibility tool to run games in individual game-specific containers. For background on pressure-vessel and the Steam Linux Runtime, please see:
