Integer rotate instructions rotate the contents of a register. The result of the rotation is either
inserted into the target register under control of a mask (if a mask bit is 1 the associated bit
of the rotated data is placed into the target register, and if the mask bit is 0 the associated
bit in the target register is unchanged), or ANDed with a mask before being placed into the
target register.
The integer rotate instructions are summarized in Table 2-25.

The integer shift instructions perform left and right shifts. Immediate-form logical
(unsigned) shift operations are obtained by specifying masks and shift values for certain
rotate instructions. Simplified mnemonics (shown in Appendix F, "Simplified
Mnemonics," in The Programming Environments Manual) are provided to make coding of
such shifts simpler and easier to understand.
Multiple-precision shifts can be programmed as shown in Appendix C, "Multiple-Precision
Shifts," in The Programming Environments Manual. The integer shift instructions are
summarized in Table 2-26.
