Use the undocumented VT_GETACTIVE ioctl on stdin (or anything else
connected to a vty) which will return the active vty number. You can
also disable vty switching, programmatically switch to a particular
vty, and do other neat stuff. Take a look at
/usr/src/usr.sbin/vidcontrolfor usage examples and
/usr/src/sys/dev/syscons/syscons.c for all the possible ioctls.
