From: Michael Schutte <michi@uiae.at> To: kbd@lists.altlinux.org Subject: [kbd] [PATCH] openvt: Document the -f switch Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 10:38:42 +0200 Message-ID: <20080622083842.GA4327@debian.homenet> (raw) -f forces a VT to be opened without checking whether it already is in use. The option works as intended, but is not documented anywhere except for a message printed if a VT is found to be busy.
