NAME
    chvt - change foreground virtual terminal

SYNOPSIS
    chvt 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.
