Shifts the second register right by the amount in the low 5 bits of the third (6 on RV64), filling with the sign bit, and stores the result in the first.

## Forms

- `sra t1, t2, t3`

## Operands

- `t1`: Any integer register, `x0` to `x31`, or its named alias, such as `zero`, `t0` or `t6`.
- `t2`: An integer register. It may be the same register as `t1`.
- `t3`: An integer register. It may be the same register as `t1`.

## Example

```riscv
.text
li t0, 13
li t1, 2
# t0=13, t1=2; sra writes 3 to t2.
sra t2, t0, t1
