 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B ovs\-brcompatd
-[\fIoptions\fR] \fIconfig\fR
+[\fIoptions\fR]
 .
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-A daemon that provides a legacy bridge front-end for \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR.  It 
-does this by listening for bridge ioctl commands (e.g., those generated by 
-the \fBbrctl\fR program) to add or remove datapaths and the interfaces 
-that attach to them.  It modifies \fIconfig\fR and forces
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR to reload its configuration file.

 .SH OPTIONS
-.IP "\fB--appctl-command=\fIcommand\fR"
-Sets the command that \fBovs\-brcompatd\fR runs to communicate with
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR.  The command is run in \fB/bin/sh\fR as a shell
-command, so \fIcommand\fR may contain arbitrary shell metacharacters,
-etc.  The \fB--help\fR option displays the default command.
-.IP
-\fIcommand\fR must contain exactly one instance of \fB%s\fR, which
-\fBovs\-brcompatd\fR replaces by a command from the set understood by
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR.  Any instances of \fB%%\fR in \fIcommand\fR are
-replaced by a single \fB%\fR.  The \fB%\fR character may not otherwise
-appear in \fIcommand\fR.
-.IP
-The commands that are substituted into \fIcommand\fR are those that
-can be listed by passing \fB-e help\fR to \fBovs\-appctl\fR with
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR as target.  The command that is substituted may
-include white space-separated arguments, so \fIcommand\fR should include
-shell quotes around \fB%s\fR.
-.IP
-\fIcommand\fR must not redirect \fBovs\-appctl\fR's standard output or
-standard error streams, because \fBovs\-brcompatd\fR expects to read
-both of these streams separately.
-.TP
-\fB--prune-timeout=\fIsecs\fR
+.IP "\fB\-\-appctl=\fIprogram\fR"
+Sets the name to the program that \fBovs\-brcompatd\fR runs to
+communicate with \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR.  The default is
+\fBovs\-appctl\fR.  Unless \fIprogram\fR contains \fB/\fR,
+\fBovs\-brcompatd\fR will search the \fBPATH\fR environment variable
+to find it.
 .
-Sets the maximum time between pruning port entries to \fIsecs\fR seconds.
-Pruning ports is the process of removing port entries from \fIconfig\fR 
-that no longer exist.  If \fIsecs\fR is zero, then entries are never
-pruned.  The default prune timeout is 5 seconds.
-.TP
-\fB--lock-timeout=\fImsecs\fR
-.
-Sets the maximum time to wait for \fIconfig\fR to become unlocked to 
-\fImsecs\fR milliseconds.  The default lock timeout is 500 milliseconds.
+.IP "\fB\-\-vsctl=\fIprogram\fR"
+Sets the name to the program that \fBovs\-brcompatd\fR runs to
+communicate with \fBovsdb\-server\fR.  The default is
+\fBovs\-vsctl\fR.  Unless \fIprogram\fR contains \fB/\fR,
+\fBovs\-brcompatd\fR will search the \fBPATH\fR environment variable
+to find it.
