This is amusing, becuase I'm a debian developer, and the author of getvc and
of the script below, and yet getvc is not in debian. :-)

Here is the code for getvc. I'll consider adding this to the open package or
something.

int fd = 0;

perror("can't get VTstate\n");
close(fd);
return(4);
}
printf("%d\n",vt.v_active);
}
