+
+ <listitem><para>Takes a positive
+ integer. How many virtual terminals to

+ to autospawn <literal>autovt</literal>
+ services on (if they are otherwise
+ unused). These services are
+ instantiated from a template of
+ <filename>autovt@.service</filename>
+ with the virtual terminal TTY name,
+ e.g. <filename>autovt@tty4.service</filename>. By
+ default
+ <filename>autovt@.service</filename>
+ is linked to
+ <filename>getty@.service</filename>,
+ i.e. login prompts are started
+ dynamically as the user switches to
+ unused virtual terminals, and this
+ parameter hence controls how many
+ gettys are available on the virtual
+ terminals. Defaults to 6. When set to
+ 0, automatic spawning of
+ <literal>autovt</literal> services is

+
+ <listitem><para>Takes a boolean
