Each directive is fully described in the docs, available online and installed as part of apache. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteengine The first line is edifying: "The RewriteEngine directive enables or disables the runtime rewriting engine. If it is set to off this module does no runtime processing at all. It does not even update the SCRIPT_URx environment variables."
