Dear Lenny, bridge_domain_sw_if_details is a reply that comes from VPP in response to bridge_domain_dump - you can see it starting from the line 390 of the file src/vnet/l2/l2_api.c in vl_api_bridge_domain_dump_t_handler().
Attempting to send bridge_domain_sw_if_details as a request lands on the corresponding handler on line 339 which does not do anything other than printing "BUG" on the console (and because this is supposed to be the message VPP->user, this is the expected behavior). Using bridge_domain_dump with bridge ID of 0xFFFFFFFF (see code on lines 406-407), you can request to send back a set of bridge_domain_sw_if_details for all of the bridge IDs, and one of these messages will have the data about the interface you are interested in.
