fgconsole − print the number of the active VT. |
fgconsole [--help|--version|--next-available] |
If the active Virtual Terminal is /dev/ttyN, then prints N on standard output. If the console is a serial console, then "serial" is printed instead. |
−−next−available |
Will show the next unallocated virtual terminal. Normally 6 virtual terminals are allocated, with number 7 used for X; this will return "8" in this case. |
Under devfs, the consoles are in /dev/vc/N. devfsd may maintain symlinks for compatibility. |
