CHVT(1)			    General Commands Manual		       CHVT(1)

NAME
       chvt - change foreground	virtual	terminal

SYNOPSIS
       chvt [option...]	 [N]

DESCRIPTION
       The  command chvt N makes /dev/ttyN the foreground terminal.  (The cor-
       responding 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
	      the console device to be used.

       -V, --version
	      print version number.

       -h, --help
	      print this usage message.
