TEST            Test                                 Flags: O D I T S Z A P C

TEST destination,source

        Logic   (AND destination,source)  ; Set flags only

    TEST performs a logical AND operation on its two operands and
    updates the flags. None of the operands are changed.

        Example:        test  eax, eax
                        jz    ahead     ; Skip if eax = 0


        Example:
        test  al, 00100100b     ; Test for bits 2 and 5
        jz    two_five_off      ; If result is zero, both were off
      one_or_both_set:
        jpe   two_five_set      ; Can use parity flag in a byte result
      two_or_five_set:          ; Bit 2 or bit 5 was set
        ; ...
      two_five_set:             ; Both bits were set
        ; ...
      two_five_off:             ; Both bits were clear
