title: [linux][ubuntu 14.04][steam client][console]licenses print output too long,can't display due to many games owned

this is a somewhat FEATURE REQUEST, i hope you guys contact with steam client developers/coding teams about this issue.

environment: ubuntu linux 14.04 LTS 64bit and windows 7 32bit.
client: steam client for linux, steam client for windows, both newest version updated, stable ver. not beta version.

i am from Chinese 3rd party community website about steam , STEAMCN(www.steamcn.com)

now a lot of rich/wealthy guys joining our community. but i found an interesting issue that, many guys DO seriously CARE their steam game entries in their steam client, treat them as their important virtual property . they want more advanced function about game licenses management with the steam client for linux and windows ver., of course.

one interesting requirement is like this.
JACK got 1000+ or 2000+ steam games bought from steam store website.
and he uses steam dev or steam console mode parameter , to start steam and enable the steam client console.

and in the steam console, he uses "licenses_print" or "licenses_print 3" command to print out all the game entries JACK owned with steam, and want to do detailed game licenses statistics .

but the PROBLEM is , JACK already owned too many games, 1000+ pieces or 2000+ more.
the steam console obviously by default, only can display about hundreds of pieces of the game licenses .
so, he needs full licenses lists/charts, which contains complete licenses info about each game he has.

and looks like, there is no export function or log which can fully get the console info, i mean, to get the complete output of the licenses_print 3 command... when one guy got 2000+ steam games.

so, i don't know how to solve this....

could you be kind and help. thank you.
