  C-h v org-footnote-re <RET>

or

  M-x describe-variable <RET> org-footnote-re <RET>

These are the standard Emacs mechanisms for checking variables
(the Help section of the Emacs manual describes these and other similar
mechanisms, e.g. describing functions, keys, etc.)

But I suspect that you are going to run into a much harder wall
after you've done this. The description reads as follows:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
org-footnote-re is a variable defined in 
`/home/nick/src/emacs/org/git/org-mode/lisp/org-footnote.elc'.
Its value is 
"[^][\n]\\[\\(?:\\([0-9]+\\)\\|\\(fn:\\([-_[:word:]]+?\\)?\\)\\(?::\\([^]]*?\\)\\)?\\)\\]"

Documentation:
Regular expression for matching footnotes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

so you'll need a fair amount of grounding in regular expressions
to even decipher this.
