For information about the CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors, and particularly LDRSH (immediate).

<Wt>	Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Xt>	Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<simm>

Is the signed immediate byte offset, in the range -256 to 255, encoded in the "imm9" field.

<pimm>

Is the optional positive immediate byte offset, a multiple of 2 in the range 0 to 8190, defaulting to 0 and encoded in the "imm12" field as <pimm>/2.
