Subject: [kbd] [PATCH] openvt: Document the -f switch
Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 10:38:42 +0200	[thread overview]
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.
