--------------------

// unconditional jumps
b	- branch (unconditional) (direct jump)
bctr	- branch (unconditional) to counter (indirect jump)

// branch on condition code
beq	- branch when equal
bne	- branch when not equal
blt	- branch when less than
bgt	- branch when greater than
ble	- branch when less than or equal
bge	- branch when greater than or equal

// register moves
mr	- move register

// comparisons (sets condition codes for subsequent branches)
cmpw	- compare word (signed)
cmplw	- compare word (unsigned)

// immediates
li	- load immediate (16-bit signed)
lis	- load immediate shifted (load 16-bit signed into upper halfword)

// loading and storing
lwz	- load word
lwzx	- load word indexed
la	- load address (synonymous to addi)
stw	- store word
stwx	- store word indexed

// arithmetic and logic
addi	- add immediate (16-bit signed)
add	- add
subfic	- subtract from immediate (generate carry, 16-bit signed)
subf	- subtract from
andi	- logical and with immediate (16-bit unsigned)
and	- logical and
ori	- logical or with immediate (16-bit unsigned)
or	- logical or
slwi	- shift left word immediate (5-bit unsigned)
slw	- shift left word
srwi	- shift right word immediate (5-bit unsigned)
srw	- shift right word
srawi	- shift right arithmetic word immediate (5-bit unsigned)
sraw	- shift right arithmetic word
xori	- exclusive or immediate (16-bit unsigned)
xor	- exclusive or
mulli	- multiply long immediate (16-bit signed)
mullw	- multiply long word
divw	- divide word

// procedure prologues and epilogues
mflr	- move from LR
mtlr	- move to LR
stwu	- store word with update (store address into base register)
lmw	- load multiple words
stmw	- store multiple words

// function calls and linkage
bl	- branch (uncodnitional) and link (direct function call)
mtctr	- move to counter
bctrl	- branch (unconditional) to counter and link (indirect function call)
blr	- branch to LR (function return)
