I've searched all over the web on implementation of segmented sieve of eratosthenes. But I found none of them suitable for a beginner. Can anyone explain me the underlying principle behind this method?

EDIT: I know that in Sieve of Eratosthenes, we find all primes upto the square root of given number and cross out all multiples of them till the given number. But what do we exactly do in its segmented version?
