I suppose you mean auto-hinting and native hinting, right?

The auto-hinter ignores all hints in the font, creating new ones at
run-time.

As the name implies, the `raster' modules rasterizes a font (B/W).

The PostScript hinter module, `pshinter', is used for native CFF
hinting.  It's more than a single function.

The auto-hinter is in the `autofit' module.
