LinuxGSM: SteamCMD exit codes

SteamCMD has exit codes to go with its failure errors. However, there is no documentation anywhere telling us what they mean. I may have to contact Valve to see if they would be willing to provide details of there exit codes

for example

Error! App '237410' state is 0x602 after update job.

gave me exit code 8

@Bourne-ID Definitely a steam exit code, as it’s the SteamCMD process that’s being quit with 254.

Thanks to @dgibbs64 and their research, I’ve found that it seems to be an issue with the Steam folder being corrupt (specifically /Steam/package/steam_cmd_linux). Upon deleting this file, the install runs with no issue. I really appreciate the help, thank you!
