How does the engine idle control valve work in an Audi 80?

I've been told that the idle control valve is an important component in an Audi 80's engine, but I don't fully understand its purpose and how it works. Can someone explain it to me?

The idle control valve in an Audi 80 regulates the idle speed by controlling the amount of air flowing into the engine. This ensures that the engine runs smoothly at all times, regardless of external conditions.
