vec_st

Purpose

Stores a vector to memory at the given address.

Syntax

vec_st(a, b, c)

Result and argument types

The vec_st function returns nothing.b is added to the address of c, and the sum is truncated to a multiple of 16 bytes. The value of a is then stored into this memory address.

The following table describes the types of the function arguments.
