Are changeover switches and toggle switches the same?

Question

Heyy, I'm writing a class test tomorrow about electricity, hence the question🙈

A switch can also be a switch-off switch or a roller shutter switch with a change in direction of rotation, the term is not unambiguous.

A change switch switches the signal present at the P terminal from output L1 to output L2

Hi I only know change switches as light switches, a change switch is there that you can turn on and off a light at several switches, the other is a turn-off switch because you can only switch on and off the light with the switch. a switch can be anything.

Yeah, I remember that name. This is also confirmed by Wiki:

"A Switches , Switch or Wechler is a Switch with three (sometimes also four) connections, the one Circuit opens and closes another."

Occasionally, the word "switch" also appears in a more comprehensive sense.
