Am I correct that to disable the reset pin of Attiny85, and use it as an IO pin, I need to disable the reset fuse bit(RSTDSBL)?

If so, should my RSTDSBL bit be 1 (assuming 1 = yes, disable)?

I am a little confused, because it looks like my reset pin got disabled only after I set the RSTDSBL bit to 0 (which is reverse of the logic I expected).

AVR fuses use negative logic; 1 means the fuse is unprogrammed/unset, while 0 means it's programmed/set. Thus, if the documentation says to program RSTDISBL, that means you should set it to 0.
