The man page for clear_console(1) is a little unclear to me, and a little bit disturbing. I cannot figure out what "changes the foreground virtual terminal to another terminal" is supposed to mean, but between that and the reference to chvt(1) under SEE ALSO, it seems like someone might want to investigate that more closely.
