.SS "Bridge Commands"
When \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR is configured to connect over SSL for management or
controller connectivity, the following parameters are required:
.TP
-\fBprivate-key\fR
+\fBprivate\-key\fR
Specifies a PEM file containing the private key used as the virtual
switch's identity for SSL connections to the controller.
.TP
certifies the virtual switch's private key, identifying a trustworthy
switch.
.TP
-\fBca-cert\fR
+\fBca\-cert\fR
Specifies a PEM file containing the CA certificate used to verify that
the virtual switch is connected to a trustworthy controller.
.PP
as part of the SSL certificate chain. The SSL protocol does not
require the controller to send the CA certificate, but
\fBcontroller\fR(8) can be configured to do so with the
-\fB--peer-ca-cert\fR option.
+\fB\-\-peer\-ca\-cert\fR option.

.SS "Database Commands"
.
identified by bridge name.
.PP
Names of tables, records, and columns are not case-sensitive, and
-\fB--\fR and \fB_\fR are treated interchangeably. Unique
+\fB\-\-\fR and \fB_\fR are treated interchangeably. Unique
abbreviations are acceptable, e.g. \fBnet\fR or \fBn\fR is sufficient
to identify the \fBNetFlow\fR table.
.
or empty map, as appropriate. This command applies only to columns
that are allowed to be empty.
.
-.IP "[\fB--id=@\fIname\fR] \fBcreate\fR \fItable column\fR[\fB:\fIkey\fR]\fB=\fIvalue\fR..."
+.IP "[\fB\-\-id=@\fIname\fR] \fBcreate\fR \fItable column\fR[\fB:\fIkey\fR]\fB=\fIvalue\fR..."
Creates a new record in \fItable\fR and sets the initial values of
each \fIcolumn\fR. Columns not explicitly set will receive their
default values. Outputs the UUID of the new row.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
Create a new bridge named br0 and add port eth0 to it:
.IP
-.B "ovs-vsctl add\-br br0"
+.B "ovs\-vsctl add\-br br0"
.br
-.B "ovs-vsctl add\-port br0 eth0"
+.B "ovs\-vsctl add\-port br0 eth0"
.PP
Alternatively, perform both operations in a single atomic transaction:
.IP
-.B "ovs-vsctl add\-br br0 \-\- add\-port br0 eth0"
+.B "ovs\-vsctl add\-br br0 \-\- add\-port br0 eth0"
.PP
Delete bridge \fBbr0\fR, reporting an error if it does not exist:
.IP
point to a new \fBQoS\fR record, which in turn points with its queue 0
to a new \fBQueue\fR record:
.IP
-.B "ovs-vsctl \-\- set port eth0 qos=@newqos \-\- \-\-id=@newqos create qos type=linux\-htb other\-config:max\-rate=1000000 queues:0=@newqueue \-\- \-\-id=@newqueue create queue other\-config:min\-rate=1000000 other\-config:max\-rate=1000000"
