Re: Escape sequences & console

["Sébastien HINDERER" <jrf3@wanadoo.fr>]

OKAY, but something strange appears:
According to linux/drivers/console.c, function setterm_commands, case 12,
one can change the virtual console by sending an escape sequence to
/dev/cnsole (what I want to do), hower, this is not documented in man
pages.
Which escape-sequence should I send to /dev/console to switch tty?
Thank you: Sébastien.
