OR Logical OR

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:

Examples:

        OR EBX,EDI
        OR AX,0FFFFH            ;Uses single-byte opcode
        OR AL,42H               ;Uses single-byte opcode
        OR WORD [ES:BX],0B800H
        OR WORD [BP+SI],DX

Notes:

OR performs the OR logical operation between its two operands. Once the operation is complete, the result replaces the destination operand. OR is performed on a bit-by-bit basis, such that bit 0 of the source is ORed with bit 0 of the destination, bit 1 of the source is ORed with bit 1 of the destination, and so on. The OR operation yields a 1 if one of the operands is 1; and a 0 only if both operands are 0. Note that the operation makes the Auxiliary carry flag undefined. CF and OF are cleared to 0, and the other affected flags are set according to the operation's results.

Note

You must use a size specifier (BYTE, WORD, DWORD) with memory data!

        sr = CS DS SS ES FS GS              r32 = EAX EBX ECX EDX EBP ESP ESI EDI
        m8 = 8-bit memory data              m16 = 16-bit memory data
        m32 = 32-bit memory data            i8 = 8-bit immediate data
        i16 = 16-bit immediate data         i32 = 32-bit immediate data
        d8 = 8-bit signed displacement      d16 = 16-bit signed displacement
        d32 = 32-bit unsigned displacement
