 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The \fBovs\-vsctl\fR program configures \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR(8) by
-providing a high\-level interface to its configuration
-database.  This program is mainly intended for use when
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR is running.  If it is used when
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR is not running, then \fB\-\-no\-wait\fR should be
-specified and configuration changes will only take effect when
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR is started.
-.PP
-By default, each time \fBovs\-vsctl\fR runs, it connects to an
-\fBovsdb\-server\fR process that maintains an Open vSwitch
-configuration database.  Using this connection, it queries and
-possibly applies changes to the database, depending on the supplied
-commands.  Then, if it applied any changes, it waits until
-\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR has finished reconfiguring itself before it exits.
+providing a high\-level interface to its configuration database.
+See \fBovs\-vswitchd.conf.db\fR(5) for comprehensive documentation of
