--unixctl=socket
program
listens for runtime management commands
(see RUNTIME MANAGEMENT COMMANDS, below). If socket
does not begin with /
, it is interpreted as relative to
@RUNDIR@
. If --unixctl
is not used at all,
the default socket is
@RUNDIR@/program.
pid.ctl
,
where pid is program
's process ID.
On Windows a local named pipe is used to listen for runtime management
commands. A file is created in the absolute path as pointed by
socket or if --unixctl
is not used at all,
a file is created as program
in the configured
OVS_RUNDIR directory. The file exists just to mimic the
behavior of a Unix domain socket.
Specifying none
for socket disables the control
socket feature.
