Can someone explain what TALIB's STOCH_SLOWK and STOCHF_FASTK are doing?

Hi, I'm kind of new and a bit confused as to what STOCH_SLOWK and STOCHF_FASTK are doing. Where can I read on the meaning of these methods. I'm also really confused as to what these parameters means: fastk_period, slowk_period, slowk_matype, slowd_period, slowd_matype, fastd_period, fastd_matype. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
