 The \fBovs\-appctl\fR program provides a simple way to invoke these

 command line as non-option arguments.  \fBovs\-appctl\fR sends the
 command and prints the daemon's response on standard output.

 the second one has serial number 2, and so on.

 .IP
 A few options may appear between the \fB%\fR and the format specifier
 character, in this order:
-
+.
 .RS
 .IP \fB-\fR
 Left justify the escape's expansion within its field width.  Right
 justification is the default.
-
+.
 .IP \fB0\fR
 Pad the field to the field width with \fB0\fRs.  Padding with spaces
 is the default.
-
+.
 .IP \fIwidth\fR
 A number specifies the minimum field width.  If the escape expands to
 fewer characters than \fIwidth\fR then it is padded to fill the field
 width.  (A field wider than \fIwidth\fR is not truncated to fit.)
 .RE

 .IP
 The default pattern for console output is \fB%d{%b %d

 .IP "\fBvlog/reopen\fR"
 Causes the daemon to close and reopen its log file.  (This
 is useful after rotating log files, to cause a new log file to be
 used.)

 The protocol used to speak to Open vSwitch daemons does not contain a
 quoting mechanism, so command arguments should not generally contain
 white space.
