What is switching charge in this MOSFET datasheet?

enter image description here

The switching actually takes place during Miller region. Hence I belive Qgd should be called as switching charge. But looks like the remianing gate charge ( after deducting Qgs and Qgd from total gate charge) is tagged as switching charge.

[PS: Below snaps are taken from a different document/ application note.]

What is meant by Switching charge ( under Gate charge characteristics) in the given MOSFET datasheet?

I think this diagram on page 7 of the data sheet will help: -

In other words, they call switching charge the charge between the gate reaching the threshold voltage and the end of the Miller plateau.
