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.
