Manuals

IA-32 manual

Intel man pages, the official source.

Also includes Intel 64.

Interesting sections:
- Vol 1 5: instruction overview. In particular, groups instructions logically.
- Vol 2 3: full instruction listing and API.
AMD64 manuals

Under the manuals section.

Original specification of x86-64, which Intel then implemented as well.
Intel 64 manual

Intel man pages, the official source.

Also includes IA-32.

Get yourself the 3 volume IA documentation and the optimization manual and sleep with them.

Interesting chapters:
- Volume 1 chapter 5: list of instructions grouped by type, good to find new instructions to play with
- Volume 2 chapter 3: full alphabetic list of all instructions
The version is given on the front page, e.g.:
```
Order Number: 325383-053US
January 2015
```
325383 is the document (different for volumes 1-3), and 053 the version (TODO US is the language? Are there translations?)

Looks like the best free disassembly library out there.

Binutils cannot be used as a library to disassemble? Sad.

Useless but cool and educational:
