1.IP "\fB\-\-unixctl=\fIsocket\fR"
2Sets the name of the control socket on which \fB\*(PN\fR listens for
3runtime management commands (see \fBRUNTIME MANAGEMENT COMMANDS\fR,
4below). If \fIsocket\fR does not begin with \fB/\fR, it is
5interpreted as relative to \fB@RUNDIR@\fR. If \fB\-\-unixctl\fR is
6not used at all, the default socket is
7\fB@RUNDIR@/\*(PN.\fIpid\fB.ctl\fR, where \fIpid\fR is \fB\*(PN\fR's
8process ID.

9.IP
10On Windows, uses a kernel chosen TCP port on the localhost to listen
11for runtime management commands. The kernel chosen TCP port value is written
12in a file whose absolute path is pointed by \fIsocket\fR. If \fB\-\-unixctl\fR
13is not used at all, the file is created as \fB\*(PN.ctl\fR in the configured
14\fIOVS_RUNDIR\fR directory.
