many, many instructions

For more information about NASM instructions:
  • Appendix E of the textbook names and describes "selected instructions," including the flags affected
  • Appendix B of current (v2) NASM instructions only lists the instructions that it assembles for each IA-32-type CPU,
    but without descriptions
  • old NASM docs have an Appendix B that includes descriptions of the actions of the instructions;
    no flags information there, though
  • Intel docs have more details than you can imagine about every instruction — there are hundreds more than we will ever use...
