Use C-h v (describe-variable).

The docstring says:

    Functions to call with no arguments to query about killing Emacs.
    If any of these functions returns nil, killing Emacs is cancelled.
    `save-buffers-kill-emacs' (C-x C-c) calls these functions, but
    `kill-emacs', the low level primitive, does not. See also
    `kill-emacs-hook'.
