CHVT(1) General Commands Manual CHVT(1)
chvt - change foreground virtual terminal
chvt [option...] [N]
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.
-C, --console=DEV
the console device to be used.
-V, --version
print version number.
-h, --help
print this usage message.
