Both a command that serves to switch a minor mode on or off and a
variable is created when defining a minor mode.
They share the same name, because Emacs Lisp, being a Lisp-2, has
separate cells for functions and variables.
All of this information is trivially available in the doc string of the
function `electric-indent-mode', that of the macro `define-minor-mode',
and the Emacs Lisp reference manual. I suggest you read them.
