You should really read the ECMA docs on method signatures, but, anyway:

*) hasthis: it's set if it's the signature of an instance method (there
is an implicit first argument, called 'this' in many programming
languages (including C#)
*) explicit_this: the this argument is explicit (ie, it's included in
the params array)
*) call_convention: one of the MonoCallConvention enum values
*) pinvoke: set when the signature is for an unmanaged function
*) param_count: number of parameters in the params array
*) sentinelpos: for vararg signatures it's the index of the first
non-fixed argument
