This function calls magvar, which uses the NIMA WMM2005 (World Magnetic Model). This is the exact same algorithm that FlightGear (via the SimGear library) uses, and in fact magvar is a port of the corresponding SimGear C++ function: https://github.com/FlightGear/simgear/blob/next/simgear/magvar/coremag.cxx
