Title:
  undocumented parameter --flagfile in nova-manage

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  nova-manage --config-file /opt/stack/nova/bin/nova.conf is not working on my devstack environment (nova.common.cfg.ConfigFileParseError: Failed to parse bin/nova.conf: File contains no section headers.
  file: bin/nova.conf, line: 1)

  using the undocumented (not listed in the output of nova-manage
  --help) paramater --flagfile is working without problems. I can't find
  the definition of the parameter "--flagfile". Looks like it's
  hardcoded in nova/utils.py in the method default_flagfile (there is a
  arg.find('flagfile')).

  stack@devstack001:~$ nova-manage --flagfile /opt/stack/nova/bin/nova.conf db version
  74

  stack@devstack001:~$ nova-manage --help | grep flagfile
    --dhcpbridge_flagfile=DHCPBRIDGE_FLAGFILE
                          location of flagfile for dhcpbridge
