[ovs-dev] What's the purpose of ovs_dp_cmd_set?

I'm trying to understand the datapath code for ovs 1.4, and one 
particular question I have is about the difference between 
ovs_dp_cmd_get() and ovs_dp_cmd_set(). ovs_dp_cmd_get() appears to 
return the datapath's name and stats to a requester, while 
ovs_dp_cmd_set() appears to send that same info to a multicast group. 
What's the purpose of ovs_dp_cms_set(), and what gets set? Thanks for 
any help.
