NAME

chvt − change foreground virtual terminal

SYNOPSIS

chvt [option...] [N]

DESCRIPTION

The command chvt N makes /dev/ttyN the foreground terminal. (The corresponding screen is created if it did not exist yet. To get rid of unused VTs, use deallocvt(1).) The key combination (Ctrl-)LeftAlt-FN (with N in the range 1-12) usually has a similar effect.

OPTIONS

−C, −−console=DEV
