I don't find the detailed doc of the above functions.

For example, how is CDLHAMMER computed?

Read the code?

The code is complicated such that I can not follow it.

The algorithm should be really simple, which only should involve 4 numbers, O, H, L, C. The C code involves too much boilerplate code that is not relevant to the actual algorithm. Thus, a verbal or math formula-based explanation is needed in the doc.

The code is what it does, feel free to contribute a summary.
