.SH DESCRIPTION
Open vSwitch daemons accept certain commands at runtime to control
their behavior and query their settings. Every daemon accepts the
connections. By default, each daemon listens on a Unix domain socket
named \fB@RUNDIR@/\fIprogram\fB.\fIpid\fB.ctl\fR, where \fIprogram\fR
is the program's name and \fIpid\fR is its process ID. For example,
-if \fBovs-vswitchd\fR has PID 123, it would listen on
-\fB@RUNDIR@/ovs-vswitchd.123.ctl\fR.
+if \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR has PID 123, it would listen on
+\fB@RUNDIR@/ovs\-vswitchd.123.ctl\fR.

Otherwise, \fBovs\-appctl\fR looks for a pidfile, that is, a file
whose contents are the process ID of a running process as a decimal
.IP "\fBvlog/set\fR \fImodule\fR[\fB:\fIfacility\fR[\fB:\fIlevel\fR]]"
Sets the logging level for \fImodule\fR in \fIfacility\fR to
\fIlevel\fR. The \fImodule\fR may be any valid module name (as
-displayed by the \fB--list\fR option) or the special name \fBANY\fR to
+displayed by the \fB\-\-list\fR option) or the special name \fBANY\fR to
set the logging levels for all modules. The \fIfacility\fR may be
\fBsyslog\fR or \fBconsole\fR to set the levels for logging to the
system log or to the console, respectively, or \fBANY\fR to set the
