'whos' is documented in src/variables.cc.  There may be a better way to do
it, but I use the following to find where the Texinfo strings are kept.

cd doc/interpreter
grep 'DOCSTRING(whos)' *.txi
--> var.texi
grep -B 4 'deftypefn .*\<whos\>' var.texi
-->


@c src/variables.cc
@anchor{doc-whos}
@deftypefn  {Command} {} whos

Every function has an @c comment indicating where the Texinfo string came
from.  If you already know that it came from a script or the src directory
then you can skip the first grep.  Instead you can use the second grep on
'scripts/DOCSTRINGS' or 'src/DOCSTRINGS'.
