john doesn't like raw / unprocessed) files (like .kdbx ones). So we
extract the necessary information using keepass2john and then feed it
to john.

It is all the "information" we require to crack the password.
The names of the variables in KeePass code are descriptive enough.
Just look at them to see what the individual fields are.

See keepass_fmt_plug.c and trace the flow of data (just put some print
statements). Soon enough, you will figure out how it works.

Not really. I recommend reading the code again.
Some hints,
+ Look at how get_salt processes the output of keepass2john.
+ Look at how crypt_all works. Focus on stuff it requires (get_salt's
output, the password). All the interesting stuff is done in crypt_all.
if(!memcmp(out, cur_salt->contents_hash, 32))
any_cracked = cracked[index] = 1;
See how "out" is generated.
