How does one read the PPC op-code 'extrwi'


I understand it is a mnemoic to rlwinm with its values tweaked, but I was wondering what the actual letter represent when read. For instance, rlwinm means Rotate Left Word Immediate then aNd with Mask. If I know what it stands for, I can memorize it a bit easier.


Solution

  • Extract and right justify immediate.
