NAME

       deallocvt - deallocate unused virtual consoles

SYNOPSIS

       deallocvt [option...]  [N ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The command deallocvt deallocates kernel memory and data
       structures for all unused virtual consoles.  If one or more
       arguments N ...  are given, only the corresponding consoles
       /dev/ttyN are deallocated.

       A virtual console is unused if it is not the foreground console,
       and no process has it open for reading or writing, and no text
       has been selected on its screen.

       -V, --version
              print program version and exit.
