NAME
       chvt - change foreground virtual terminal

SYNOPSIS
       chvt [option...]  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  com‐
       bination (Ctrl-)LeftAlt-FN (with N in the range 1-12) usually has a similar effect.

              print program version and exit.

       -h, --help
              show this text and exit.
