An opcode, or operation code, is a bytecode operation, that is, a command of the language actually used on the virtual machine. They are not usually intended for human consumption, but they are usually specified somewhere, like [this document for MoarVM](https://github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/27a7befed3c38e2e5dbf7a44f8546dc226b41297/docs/bytecode.markdown).
