I don't think that the source code is the best reference in this
regard. Why not simply point to

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.63/doc/html/spec_html/ch48.html#id2696098

Generally, one should not assume that someone who posts a question to
exim-users is able to read the C source code and understand the
underlying logic.
