What is "clawhammer"

I've got a fingerpicking lesson book, and right now I'm working on clawhammer patterns. Is clawhammer style just about picking patterns or is there more to it? The book doesn't give any background on clawhammer, and when I look it up on the internet, the info. I find is pretty confusing to me. Thanks!

Re: What is "clawhammer"

It's a banjo style of picking. 

Here's a Youtube video.  It's the first one that came up searching "Introduction to clawhammer banjo".  I don't know the instructor or how accurate the information is.
