+@command{mds-chvt} is a utility similar to the command
+@command{chvt} from the @command{kbd} project. However,
+@command{mds-chvt} has setuid and therefore does not
+require root permissions, but it will only request a
+virtual terminal switch if the display server's virtual
+terminal is in the foreground. @command{mds-chvt}
+recognises the following options:
+
+@table @option
+@item --switch=VT
+Switch to the virtual terminal with the index @var{VT}.
