Is this OpenGL or GLUT?

In some code I have:
But is initRendering() a glut function or an OpenGL function?
I know that all opengl functions start with 'gl' and that all glut functions start with 'glut', so where does initRendering() belong?

initRendering is a user defined function. As you can see on their web page, it is just a custom function that will call "setup code".
Quote://Initializes 3D renderingvoid initRendering() { //Makes 3D drawing work when something is in front of something else glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);}
The initRendering function initializes our rendering parameters. For now, it doesn't do much. We'll pretty much always want to call glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST) when we initialize rendering. The call makes sure that an object shows up behind an object in front of it that has already been drawn, which we want to happen.
Hope that makes sense. It can go anywhere in your CPP file as long as you have a function prototype defined for it at the top of the program.
