About Joomla install.eventlist.php

Question

I can't find any documentation for this file (install.eventlist.php). I'm already using it on my extensions to do database modification when for example my extension gets an update and needs some database table altering, but I don't think I'm using 100% its functionality. Is there any tutorial/article/documentation out there that focuses on this?

Already searched, but didn't find anything useful.
