+\fBINVALID_TTL_TO_CONTROLLER\fR, so that \fBovs\-ofctl monitor\fR can
+receive ``packet-in'' messages when TTL reaches zero on \fBdec_ttl\fR action.
+.IP
+\fBwatch:\fR[\fB\fIspec\fR...] causes \fBovs\-ofctl\fR to send a
+``monitor request'' Nicira extension message to the switch at
+connection setup time. This message causes the switch to send
+information about flow table changes as they occur. The following
+comma-separated \fIspec\fR syntax is available:
+.RS
+.IP "\fB!initial\fR"
+Do not report the switch's initial flow table contents.
+.IP "\fB!add\fR"
+Do not report newly added flows.
+.IP "\fB!delete\fR"
+Do not report deleted flows.
+.IP "\fB!modify\fR"
+Do not report modifications to existing flows.
+.IP "\fB!own\fR"
+Abbreviate changes made to the flow table by \fBovs\-ofctl\fR's own
+connection to the switch. (These could only occur using the
+\fBofctl/send\fR command described below under \fBRUNTIME MANAGEMENT
+COMMANDS\fR.)
+.IP "\fB!actions\fR"
+Do not report actions as part of flow updates.
+.IP "\fBtable=\fInumber\fR"
+Limits the monitoring to the table with the given \fInumber\fR between
+0 and 254. By default, all tables are monitored.
+.IP "\fBout_port=\fIport\fR"
+If set, only flows that output to \fIport\fR are monitored.
+.IP "\fIfield\fB=\fIvalue\fR"
+Monitors only flows that have \fIfield\fR specified as the given
+\fIvalue\fR. Any syntax valid for matching on \fBdump\-flows\fR may
+be used.
