Solved open(1)

As i've stated elsewhere i am thinking about writing some code to run commands on random VTs. Before reinventing the wheel (or probably rather porting openvt) i thought i'd look around to see if the functionality i am looking for already exists in some form and i stumbled upon open(1). Now this seems to be pretty much what i am looking for but according to the man page it's from Linux 1.x. That leaves me a bit confused to be honest. Is FreeBSD keeping ancient Linux man pages around (why?) or is this something i can actually install and use in one way or another?
