toggle
(foldoc) | toggle
To change a bit from whatever state it is in to the other
state; to change from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. This comes from
"toggle switches", such as standard light switches, though the
word "toggle" actually refers to the mechanism that keeps the
switch in the position to which it is flipped rather than to
the fact that the switch has two positions. There are four
things you can do to a bit: set it (force it to be 1), clear
(or zero) it, leave it alone, or toggle it.

vt.
To change a bit from whatever state it is in to the other state; to
change from 1 to 0 or from 0 to
1. This comes from ‘toggle switches’, such as standard light switches,
though the word toggle actually refers to the mechanism that keeps the
switch in the position to which it is flipped rather than to the fact that
the switch has two positions. There are four things you can do to a bit:
set it (force it to be 1), clear (or zero) it, leave it alone, or toggle
it. (Mathematically, one would say that there are four distinct
boolean-valued functions of one boolean argument, but saying that is much
less fun than talking about toggling bits.)

Toggle switch
(gcide) | Toggle switch \Tog"gle switch`\, n.
1. (Elec.) an electrical switch operated by pushing a lever
through a small angle of deflection. The lever has a
spring which returns it to its original position after the
pressure applied by the operator is released.
[PJC]
2. (Computer programming) A mechanism for acquiring input
from an operator, such that taking some action (such as
pressing a function key on a keyboard) will cause a
program variable to take a new value. The values are
usually changed in cyclic fashion, so that a certain
number of activations of the toggle returns the variable
to its initial value. When there are two values to the
variable, each activation of the toggle causes the
variable to assume the alternate value.
