SYNOPSIS

       deallocvt [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 writ­
       ing, and no text has been selected on its screen.
