.SS "DATAPATH COMMANDS"
These commands manage logical datapaths.  They are are similar to the
equivalent \fBovs\-dpctl\fR commands.
.
.IP "\fBdpif/dump\-dps\fR"
Prints the name of each configured datapath on a separate line.
.
.IP "\fBdpif/show\fR"
Prints a summary of configured datapaths, including statistics and a
list of connected ports.  The port information includes the OpenFlow
port number, datapath port number, and the type.  (The local port is
identified as OpenFlow port 65534.)
.
.IP "\fBdpif/dump\-flows \fIdp\fR"
Prints to the console all flow entries in datapath \fIdp\fR's
flow table.
.IP
This command is primarily useful for debugging Open vSwitch.  The flow
table entries that it displays are not OpenFlow flow entries.  Instead,
they are different and considerably simpler flows maintained by the
datapath module.  If you wish to see the OpenFlow flow entries, use
\fBovs\-ofctl dump\-flows\fR.
.
.IP "\fBdpif/del\-flows \fIdp\fR"
Deletes all flow entries from datapath \fIdp\fR's flow table and
underlying datapath implementation (e.g., kernel datapath module).
.IP
This command is primarily useful for debugging Open vSwitch.  As
discussed in \fBdpif/dump\-flows\fR, these entries are
not OpenFlow flow entries.
