+Command: get-vt
+ Get the index of the virtual terminal the server is display on
+ and the servers file descriptor for that tty
+
+Required header: Client ID
+ Your ID, provided by `ID assignment`
+ in response to `Command: assign-id`
+
+Response: The server will response with the header `VT index`
+ and the index of the virtual terminal the server is
+ display on in decimal format. Additionally the server
+ will respond with the header `Active` with the value
+ `yes` if the VT is in the foreground or the value
+ `no` if the VT is in the background.
+
+Purpose: Allow programs to be aware of whether the display
+ is in the foreground or the background
+Purpose: Allow programs to be aware of which VT the
+ server is running on
+Purpose: Allow programs to gain access of the TTY associated

+
+Optional header: graphical
+ yes) Set the TTY graphical mode
+ no) Set the TTY text mode
+ The server implementing this protocol should not set the

+ to temporarily switch to text mode when switching TTY.
+
+Optional header: exclusive
+ yes) The server may block other process from opening the TTY.
+ no) The server may not block other process from opening the TTY.

+Response: The server will response with a `Command: error`

+Command: switching-vt
+ Notify servers about an ongoing virtual terminal switch
+
+Required header: Status
+ deactivating) The kernel wants to place the display in the background
+ activating) The kernel wants to place the display in the foreground
+
+Instructions: When a virtual terminal switch is requested the
+ server implementing control VT switching involving
+ the display's virtual terminal will get signaled by
+ the kernel. Upon this signal the server should
+ roadcast this command. All servers that need to
+ release or acquire resouces should intercept this
+ message with the possibility of modifying it.
+ Once a server is ready for the VT to switch it should
+ let the message pass to the next server by telling
+ the master server that it is no modification to do.
+ Once all servers are read for the switch the server
+ that emitted this message should signal the kernel
+ that it may switch VT. The server should detect
+ this by setting up secondary contection to the
+ display that intercepts this message. This connection
+ should intercept this message with priority −2³²,
+ all servers that need to perform actions before the
+ switch takes place must have a priority higher than
+ −2³², preferably 0.
+
+Purpose: Allow servers to release resources when the user switch
+ virtual terminal before the terminal actually changes and
+ to reacquire resources when the virtual terminal become
+ active again
