 CHVT(1)                Linux User's Manual                CHVT(1)
 
 
 
NAME
        chvt - change foreground virtual terminal
 
 
SYNOPSIS
        chvtN
 
 
DESCRIPTION
        The  command  chvt N makes /dev/ttyN the foreground termi­
        nal. The corresponding screen is created  if  it  did  not
        exist yet. To get rid of unused VTs, use deallocvt(1).
 
        The keymap action `Console_N' (usually bound to key combi­
        nation (Ctrl-)LeftAlt-FN, with N in the range 1-12, and to
        RightAlt-FN-12  with  N in the range 13-24) also allows to
        switch to another VT, but really switches only  if  it  is
        already allocated. This prevents allocating new VTs with a
        misplaced keystroke.
