You are right, this stuff is there to confuse you.

"necessary" for what?
"on_SOMETHING" are simply callbacks that are called when certain
events happen in sander main loop; such as "delta E is being evaluated
for an exchange attempt" and "exchange is in progress"; NCSU codes
(this is just a namespace -- pseudo-random combination of letters)
then take appropriate actions (like compute some contributions to
the delta E or change context after an exchange).

The easiest way would be to just ignore all these on_* things.
With kind regards,
