+NAME
+ vtchs - Listen for VT switches
+
+ETYMOLOGY
+ (v)irtual (t)erminal (ch)ange(s)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ vtchs
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ vtchs ignores all arguments. You must have set
+ stdin to be a /dev/tty device.
+
+ When vtchs starts, it prints the number of the
+ currently active console. Then, in an infinite
+ loop, it waits for the user to change console,
+ and prints the number of the newly active console
+ when this happens.
+
+RATIONALE
+ Sometimes you need to be able to know which
+ console is in the foreground, and stay up to
+ date on this.
