${UTIL}: Provides helper functions to save Open vSwitch's configuration.
usage: $0 COMMAND
Commands:
 save-interfaces        Outputs a shell script on stdout that will restore
                        the current kernel configuration of the specified
                        network interfaces, as well as the system iptables
                        configuration.
 save-flows             Outputs a shell script on stdout that will restore
                        OpenFlow flows of each Open vSwitch bridge.
This script is meant as a helper for the Open vSwitch init script commands.
