.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ovs\-vswitchd
-\fIdatabase\fR
+\fBovs\-vswitchd \fR[\fIdatabase\fR]
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
A daemon that manages and controls any number of Open vSwitch switches
on the local machine.
.PP
-The mandatory \fIdatabase\fR argument normally takes the form
-\fBunix:\fIfile\fR, where \fIfile\fR is the name of a Unix domain
-socket on which \fBovsdb\-server\fR is listening. However, all of the
-following forms are accepted:
+The \fIdatabase\fR argument specifies how \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR connects
+to \fBovsdb\-server\fR. The default is \fBunix:@RUNDIR@/db.sock\fR.
+The following forms are accepted:
.so ovsdb/remote-active.man
.so ovsdb/remote-passive.man
.PP
A single \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR can manage any number of switch instances, up
to the maximum number of supported Open vSwitch datapaths.
.PP
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR provides all the features of \fBovs-openflowd\fR,
-and more. Do not run both daemons at the same time.
-.PP
\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR does all the necessary management of Open vSwitch datapaths
itself. Thus, external tools, such \fBovs\-dpctl\fR(8), are not needed for
managing datapaths in conjunction with \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR, and their use
