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-F N (with N in the range 1-12) usually has a similar effect.

Options

"-V, --version" print program version and exit.

"-h, --help" show this text and exit.
