-\fB--command-acl=\fR[\fB!\fR]\fIglob\fR[\fB,\fR[\fB!\fR]\fIglob\fR...]
-Configures the commands that remote OpenFlow connections are allowed
-to invoke using (e.g.) \fBovs\-ofctl execute\fR. The argument is a
-comma-separated sequence of shell glob patterns. A glob pattern
-specified without a leading \fB!\fR is a ``whitelist'' that specifies
-a set of commands that are that may be invoked, whereas a pattern that
-does begin with \fB!\fR is a ``blacklist'' that specifies commands
-that may not be invoked. To be permitted, a command name must be
-whitelisted and must not be blacklisted;
-e.g. \fB--command-acl=up*,!upgrade\fR would allow any command whose name
-begins with \fBup\fR except for the command named \fBupgrade\fR.
-Command names that include characters other than upper- and lower-case
-English letters, digits, and the underscore and hyphen characters are
-unconditionally disallowed.
-
-When the whitelist and blacklist permit a command name, \fBovs\-openflowd\fR
-looks for a program with the same name as the command in the commands
-directory (see below). Other directories are not searched.

-\fB--command-dir=\fIdirectory\fR
-Sets the directory searched for remote command execution to
-\fBdirectory\fR. The default directory is
-\fB@pkgdatadir@/commands\fR.

+.IP "\fB\-\-ports=\fIport\fR[\fB,\fIport\fR...]"
+Ordinarily, \fBovs\-openflowd\fR expects the administrator to create
+the specified \fIdatapath\fR and add ports to it externally with a
+utility such as \fBovs\-dpctl\fR. However, the userspace switch
+datapath is implemented inside \fBovs\-openflowd\fR itself and does
+not (currently) have any external interface for \fBovs\-dpctl\fR to
+access. As a stopgap measure, this option specifies one or more ports
+to add to the datapath at \fBovs\-openflowd\fR startup time. Multiple
+ports may be specified as a comma-separated list or by specifying
+\fB\-\-ports\fR multiple times.
+.IP
+See \fBINSTALL.userspace\fR for more information about userspace
+switching.
