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
              the console device to be used.

       -V, --version
              print version number.

       -h, --help
              print this usage message.
