query-replace:

    Arguments FROM-STRING, TO-STRING, DELIMITED, START, END, BACKWARD, and
    REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P are passed to `perform-replace' (which see).

perform-replace:

    Non-nil REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P means that the region is composed of
    noncontiguous pieces.  The most common example of this is a
    rectangular region, where the pieces are separated by newline
    characters."

Did you have specific functions in mind? There are quite a few in that
file.
