flag manipulation instructions are which changes the flag conditions
for example STC - set the carry flag
STI - set the interrupt flag so interrupts will be enabled

In the 8086 microprocessor, the Direction Flag (DF) is used for string manipulation instructions. It determines the direction in which string operations proceed: if DF is set (DF = 1), the operations are performed from high memory addresses to low (decrementing); if DF is clear (DF = 0), the operations proceed from low to high memory addresses (incrementing). This allows for flexibility in how strings are processed in memory.
In assembly language, the Zero Flag (ZF) can be directly affected by certain instructions, such as comparisons (e.g., CMP) and arithmetic operations. Other flags, like the Carry Flag (CF) or Sign Flag (SF), are typically modified by specific instructions and cannot be set or cleared directly. The Control Flag bits, such as the Interrupt Flag (IF), can be manipulated using specific instructions like CLI and STI. Overall, while some flags can be influenced indirectly through operations, direct manipulation is limited.

A flag can be seen as a pulley when it is attached to a pole and raised or lowered by pulling on a rope. The pulley system allows for easy manipulation of the flag's position, similar to how a pulley facilitates the lifting of objects by distributing the force needed to raise them.
The flags are testable conditions that are set after many arithmetic or logical instructions to indicate something about the result of the result. For instance, the Z flag means the result is zero, the N flag means it is negative, the O flag means a signed overflow occurred, the C flag means an unsigned overflow occurred, and the P flag means an even number of bits is set in the result. You can use the various flag testable jump instructions, such as JZ or JNZ to test the flag after performing an operation that sets or resets the flag.
Conditional jump instructions that test the zero (Z) and carry (C) flag bits include JE (Jump if Equal) or JZ (Jump if Zero), which checks the Z flag, and JC (Jump if Carry), which checks the C flag. These instructions are commonly used in assembly language for decision-making based on the results of previous arithmetic or logic operations. The Z flag indicates whether the result of the last operation was zero, while the C flag indicates whether there was a carry out from the most significant bit during addition or a borrow during subtraction.
• Direct manipulation interfaces are usually easier to learn because they rely on recognition rather than recall. • The effect of operations tends to be easier to spot, and therefore, avoid in a direct manipulation interface because the consequences are normally visualized in such an interface. • Giving instructions tends to be more efficient than direct manipulation for experienced users.

The direction flag (DF) controls the direction of repeated string instructions. The trap flag (TF) executes one instruction and then executes a debug (INT 1) instruction so that a debugger can single step through a program.

The Flag Code is a set of advisory instructions, and while it is part of federal law, it is not illegal to go against it. There are no penalties for failure to comply with it, and indeed, that would be unconstitutional. In the context of the Flag Code itself, no other flag should be flown above or at the same height as the US flag (Texas is often wrongly stated as an exception to this).
