.TP
-\fB--accept-vconn=\fIregex\fR
+\fB\-\-accept\-vconn=\fIregex\fR
With this option, only controllers whose names match POSIX extended
regular expression \fIregex\fR will be accepted. Specifying
\fBssl:.*\fR for \fIregex\fR, for example, would cause only SSL
When this option is not given, the default \fIregex\fR is
\fBtcp:.*\fR.
.TP
-\fB--exit-without-bind\fR
+\fB\-\-exit\-without\-bind\fR
By default, \fBovs\-discover\fR binds the network device that receives
the first acceptable response to the IP address received over DHCP.
With this option, the configuration of the network device is not
\fBovs\-discover\fR will exit immediately after it receives an
acceptable DHCP response.
-This option is mutually exclusive with \fB--exit-after-bind\fR and
-\fB--no-detach\fR.
+This option is mutually exclusive with \fB\-\-exit\-after\-bind\fR and
+\fB\-\-no\-detach\fR.
.TP
-\fB--exit-after-bind\fR
+\fB\-\-exit\-after\-bind\fR
By default, after it receives an acceptable DHCP response,
\fBovs\-discover\fR detaches itself from the foreground session and
runs in the background maintaining the DHCP lease as necessary. With
with the received IP address. The address obtained via DHCP could
therefore be used past the expiration of its lease.
-This option is mutually exclusive with \fB--exit-without-bind\fR and
-\fB--no-detach\fR.
+This option is mutually exclusive with \fB\-\-exit\-without\-bind\fR and
+\fB\-\-no\-detach\fR.
.TP
-\fB--no-detach\fR
+\fB\-\-no\-detach\fR
By default, \fBovs\-discover\fR runs in the foreground until it obtains
an acceptable DHCP response, then it detaches itself from the
foreground session and run as a background process. This option
prevents \fBovs\-discover\fR from detaching, causing it to run in the
foreground even after it obtains a DHCP response.
-This option is mutually exclusive with \fB--exit-without-bind\fR and
-\fB--exit-after-bind\fR.
+This option is mutually exclusive with \fB\-\-exit\-without\-bind\fR and
+\fB\-\-exit\-after\-bind\fR.
.TP
-\fB-P\fR[\fIpidfile\fR], \fB--pidfile\fR[\fB=\fIpidfile\fR]
+\fB\-\-pidfile\fR[\fB=\fIpidfile\fR]
Causes a file (by default, \fBovs\-discover.pid\fR) to be created indicating
the PID of the running process. If \fIpidfile\fR is not specified, or
if it does not begin with \fB/\fR, then it is created in
\fB@RUNDIR@\fR.
The \fIpidfile\fR is created when \fBovs\-discover\fR detaches, so
-this this option has no effect when one of \fB--exit-without-bind\fR,
-\fB--exit-after-bind\fR, or \fB--no-detach\fR is also given.
+this this option has no effect when one of \fB\-\-exit\-without\-bind\fR,
+\fB\-\-exit\-after\-bind\fR, or \fB\-\-no\-detach\fR is also given.
.TP
-\fB-f\fR, \fB--force\fR
-By default, when \fB-P\fR or \fB--pidfile\fR is specified and the
-specified pidfile already exists and is locked by a running process,
-\fBcontroller\fR refuses to start. Specify \fB-f\fR or \fB--force\fR
-to cause it to instead overwrite the pidfile.
-
-When \fB-P\fR or \fB--pidfile\fR is not specified, this option has no
-effect.
+\fB\-\-overwrite\-pidfile\fR
+By default, when \fB\-\-pidfile\fR is specified and the specified pidfile
+already exists and is locked by a running process, \fBcontroller\fR refuses
+to start. Specify \fB\-\-overwrite\-pidfile\fR to cause it to instead
+overwrite the pidfile.

+When \fB\-\-pidfile\fR is not specified, this option has no effect.
