Emacs has an extensive help system. For example <F1> <F1> displays
a list of all help you can get. In particular, in this menu, you can see
v VARIABLE Display the given variable's documentation and value.
So if you hit `v', you can select `org-agenda-show-future-repeats' and
read its documentation string, or "docstring".
A shortcut for this is
<F1> v org-agenda-show-future-repeats RET
Another way to look at it is to use the Customization system Emacs
offers. To get there, you can use
M-x customize-group RET org RET
You can then browse variables by category, or directly search for the
one you're looking for in the search bar at the top of the buffer.
HTH.
