 - <p>In addition to describing the instruction supported by the target machine,
 - the <samp>md</samp> file also defines a group of <em>attributes</em> and a set of
 - values for each.  Every generated insn is assigned a value for each attribute.
 - One possible attribute would be the effect that the insn has on the machine’s
 - condition code.  This attribute can then be used by <code>NOTICE_UPDATE_CC</code>
 - to track the condition codes.
