That's because it is not a variable.  Try C-h f for functions.  

Other help commands you might want to take a look at, especially if one
does not return the information you think it should, as is the case with
what you tried are:

C-h a
apropos

In addition to the C-h v for variables and C-h f for functions.  You can
generally find all the information  you need using one of these commands.
