        <listitem><para>Takes a positive integer. Configures how many
        virtual terminals (VTs) to allocate by default that, when

        <filename>autovt@.service</filename> for the respective VT TTY

        By default, <filename>autovt@.service</filename> is linked to

        prompts are started dynamically as the user switches to unused

        login <literal>gettys</literal> are available on the VTs. If a
        VT is already used by some other subsystem (for example, a
        graphical login), this kind of activation will not be
        attempted. Note that the VT configured in
        <varname>ReserveVT=</varname> is always subject to this kind

        The VT selected with this option will be marked busy

        This functionality is useful to ensure that, regardless of how
