Ok, let me try again by pasting here the relevant text from the manual:

"Parity Flag (PF). Bit 2. Hardware sets the parity flag to 1 if there
is an even number of 1 bits in the least-significant byte of the last
result of certain operations. Otherwise (i.e., for an odd number of 1
bits), hardware clears the flag to 0. Software can read the flag to
implement parity checking."
