NAME top

       chvt - change foreground virtual terminal

SYNOPSIS top

       chvt N

DESCRIPTION top

       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.
