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.
