Thanks, this is a useful tool, but I think the formatting of output may need to 
be
reworked.  The bridge tool works similar to ip command. And in the ip command 
the
-s flag causes additional lines, but does not change the output format.

There is also double line spacing in current output, which scrolls off when
managing in little VM windows. Plush the port name is too narrow a field width

Why not something like:

$ bridge vlan
port       vlan ids
virbr1     1 PVID Egress Untagged
virbr4     1 PVID Egress Untagged
virbr0     1 PVID Egress Untagged

$ bridge -s vlan
virbr1     1 PVID Egress Untagged
             RX: 33724730 bytes 492075 packets
             TX: 67409922 bytes 984029 packets
virbr0     1 PVID Egress Untagged
             RX: 169562135 bytes 790877 packets 
             TX: 169550926 bytes 790824 packets

The -d detail flag would also be useful to implement
