I do not know the answer to that question. I think that you should start
reading the source code of ESPResSo yourself. The relevant file are
rattle.c and rattle.h.

And I'm surprised that I still answer your questions. You seem to be
unable to understand that ESPResSo is not a professional software
product with support services, but a software package provided by
scientists for other scientists. Nobody is paid for answering your
questions, everybody does so voluntarily.
"Our organisation" is a research group that is not paid for providing
software support of any kind, but for their physical research. What
Arjit has done or not done is not of your concern. Some people have
focussed more on the research and less on the documentation or the like.
We think it is better to have stuff rather in than out, even if it is
undocumented.

We try to help you to work with it, but we do so because we are nice. If
you do not appreciate our work, then please stop using ESPResSo, or at
least stop bugging us.
