CLC Clear Carry Flag (CF)

Flags affected:

        O D I T S Z A P C  OF: Overflow flag  TF: Trap flag AF: Aux carry
        F F F F F F F F F  DF: Direction flag SF: Sign flag PF: Parity flag
                        *  IF: Interrupt flag ZF: Zero flag CF: Carry flag

Legal forms:

        CLC <none>

Examples:

CLC

Notes:

CLC simply sets the Carry flag (CF) to the cleared (0) state. Use CLC in situations where the Carry flag must be in a known cleared state before work begins, as when you are rotating a series of words or bytes using the rotate instructions RCL and RCR. It can also be used to put CF into a known state before returning from a procedure, to indicate that the procedure had succeeded or failed, as desired.
