FGCONSOLE(1) Linux User's Manual FGCONSOLE(1)
fgconsole - print the number of the active VT.
fgconsole [ -h --help | -V --version | -n --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.
-h --help
Prints short usage message and exits.
-V --version
Prints version number and exits.
--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.
