To find what a g code does, start here, at what I think is our best
single page of documentation ever:

http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode.html

Click on G92.  That takes you here:

http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode_main.html#sub:G92,-G92.1,-G92.2,

Now you have this:

        When G92 is executed, the origins of all coordinate systems
        move.  They move such that the value of the current controlled
        point, in the currently active coordinate system, becomes the
        specified value.  All coordinate system's origins are offset
        this same distance.

        For example, suppose the current point is at X=4 and there is
        currently no G92 offset active. Then G92 x7 is programmed.
        This moves all origins -3 in X, which causes the current point
        to become X=7. This -3 is saved in parameter 5211.
