+The \fBovs\-vsctl\fR command line begins with global options (see
+\fBOPTIONS\fR below for details). The global options are followed by
+one or more commands. Each command should begin with \fB\-\-\fR by
+itself as a command-line argument, to separate it from the global
+options and following commands. (If the first command does not have
+any options, then the first \fB\-\-\fR may be omitted.) The command
+itself starts with command-specific options, if any, followed by the
+command name and any arguments. See \fBEXAMPLES\fR below for syntax
+examples.
