This syntax is Intel style ASM as depicted in their x86 manuals.

This is known as "AT&T flavor" intel ASM.
Its really no big deal, just assembler dependent. Despite flavors in
syntax, though, Intel mnemonics are considered static and should
never be assumed to change unless Intel specifically removes or
changes a mnemonic (which isn't likely to happen with such
universal instructions as are in question). Mnemonics should also
be considered case independent, though, Intel prefers upper-case.
