outsw

Forms
outsw
The w suffix selects 2 bytes per element; no quadword form exists. Flags are unchanged.
After the transfer, rsi increases by 2 when DF = 0 or decreases by 2 when DF = 1. In 64-bit mode addresses use this 64-bit register by default; a32 selects esi. The rep prefix repeats using rcx, or ecx with a32, as the counter. A zero initial repeat count performs no transfer. Access to I/O ports is subject to operating-system privilege checks.
