MOVZX Move With Zero-Extend (386) Flags: O D I T S Z A P C
MOVZX destination, source
Logic: destination . zero extend(source)
This instruction copies a source operand to a destination operand and
zero-extends it. This is particularly useful to preserve signs when
copying from 8-bit register to a 16-bit one, or a 16-bit register to a
32-bit one.
MOVZX is only valid in the 386.
