SYNOPSIS
fgconsole [--help|--version|--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.

Will show the next unallocated virtual terminal. Normally 6 virtual
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 symlinks for compatibility.
