# chvt - Unix, Linux Command

# 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.
