CHVT(1)								       CHVT(1)

NAME
       chvt - change foreground virtual terminal

SYNOPSIS
       chvt [ --userwait ] 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.

       The --userwait option causes the system to loop	in  userspace  waiting
       for  the	 new  terminal to become active, as opposed to the kernel-side
       VT_WAITACTIVE ioctl.
