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
