 .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.

+The mandatory \fIdatabase\fR argument specifies the
+\fBovsdb\-server\fR from which \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR's configuration is
+retrieved.  It should take the form \fBunix:\fIfile\fR, to connect to
+the Unix domain server socket named \fIfile\fR.
