toggle 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.)
