  61
  62     <para><filename>systemd-vconsole-setup</filename> sets up and configures either all virtual consoles, or — if the
  63     optional <replaceable>TTY</replaceable> parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up it's
  64     called by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> during
  65     VT console subsystem initialization.  Also,
  66     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-localed.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> invokes
  67     it as needed when language or console changes are made. Internally, this program calls <citerefentry
  68     project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> and <citerefentry
  69     project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  70     </para>

  72     <para>Execute <command>systemctl restart systemd-vconsole-setup.service</command> in order to apply any manual
  73     changes made to <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename>.</para>
  74
  75     <para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>vconsole.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
  76     information about the configuration files and kernel command line options understood by this program.</para>
