NAME
       fgconsole - print the number of the active VT.
SYNOPSIS
       fgconsole [ -h --help | -V --version | -n --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.
       -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 vir-
              tual  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  sym-
       links for compatibility.
