Operands

r/m
A general-purpose register or memory location matching the operation’s size, for example rax or qword [rbp-8]. The byte registers ah, bh, ch and dh cannot be used with a REX prefix, including when the memory address uses r8–r15.

NOT, similarly, performs one's complement (inverts all the bits).
