Name

chvt - change foreground virtual terminal

Synopsis

chvt 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.
