STZ (Store Zero) is a 65c816 instruction that zeros out memory. The size of the accumulator determines how many zero bytes are written.

STZ has the same effect as STA when the accumulator is zero. It was not available on the original NMOS 6502 and was probably added to the CMOS version in order to make code faster/smaller because zero is such a common value to store.

No flags are affected.
