The command "mpc toggle" is used to toggle the playback state of the music player daemon (MPD) through the command line interface.
In detail, here's how it works:
- "mpc" is the command to interact with MPD. It stands for "Music Player Client".
- "toggle" is an argument or subcommand within MPC, which specifically instructs MPD to toggle between play and pause states.
When you execute the "mpc toggle" command, the current state of MPD's playback will change. If the music is currently playing, executing "mpc toggle" will pause the playback. On the other hand, if the music is currently paused, executing "mpc toggle" will start playing the music.
In summary, "mpc toggle" is a command used to switch between the play and pause states of the MPD.
