  49     <para><filename>systemd-vconsole-setup</filename> sets up and configures either all virtual consoles, or — if the
  50     optional <replaceable>TTY</replaceable> parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up it's
  51     called by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> during
  52     VT console subsystem initialization.  Also,
  53     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> invokes
  54     it as needed when language or console changes are made. Internally, this program calls <citerefentry
  55     project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> and <citerefentry
  56     project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  57     </para>

  59     <para>Execute <command>systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service</command> in order to apply any manual
  60     changes made to <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename>.</para>
  61
  62     <para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>vconsole.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
  63     information about the configuration files and kernel command line options understood by this program.</para>
