NAME¶
fgconsole - print the number of the active VT.
SYNOPSIS¶
fgconsole
[--help|--version|--next-available]
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
NOTES¶
Under devfs, the consoles are in /dev/vc/N. devfsd may
maintain symlinks for compatibility.
