Many of the blocks have Doxygen-provided help information in the GRC
properties menu for the block. For those that don't, the best recourse
is to read the source code of the block itself, unfortunately. Most of
the blocks follow the "usual conventions" found in popular DSP
textbooks, so a Costas loop should look like the Costas loop in your
textbook.

Feel free to ask more specific questions about blocks as well, if
there's no explanation in the Doxygen text for the block.
