They are not "out of the box" routines which is why you couldn't find any mention of them. Rather they are 'user defined' routines, ones someone in your shop wrote. You'll need to locate them in the Manager and when you find them double-click on their name. That will allow you to see their long description, which hopefully documents them properly. Worst case, you'll also be able to see the actual source code to see what it does.
