It basically means "save the whole to response to the temporary
file, it will be used for caching/store". Note well that as of
now, it is only set at the very start of the event pipe operation,
when initializing u->pipe in ngx_http_upstream_send_response(),
and it might not be safe to simply switch it off at some point.

The code is basically the only documentation available about the
code (history and commit logs might be also helpful). The
development guide is mostly about explaining some basic things,
and it is focused on how to write modules, not on explaining how
existing modules work. If you want to change the existing code,
you'll have to read the code carefully to understand what the code
does.
