The Wh is taken from the C source code. I suspect it just means WhereisDirectory since in the C source the list of paths is hardcoded. I think its there for significance of the paths that are used. https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/blob/master/misc-utils/whereis.c
On Line 94 is the definition of the structure.

The assertion in the test_src_only test is ineffective because checking for an empty string always passes. Consider verifying against an expected output or removing the check if it is not necessary.
