Yes.  Both.

The easiest way is to actually look at the source code directory:
<turretarch5 303> ls $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/ptraj/*.c
actions.c  clusterLib.c   display.c  experimental.c  io.c    netcdf_ptraj.c    pubfft.c  second.c   trajectory.c
analyze.c  correlation.c  energy.c   help.c          main.c  parallel_ptraj.c  rdparm.c  thermo.c   utility.c
cluster.c  dispatch.c     evec.c     interface.c     mask.c  ptraj.c           rms.c     torsion.c
Note a file there named "rms.c".  Alternatively, egrep for rms and see 
all the files that refer to rms...
[The core functionality is in the rms() routine in rms.c; the "action" 
which controls the call, i.e. determines whether to mass weight or not, 
fit, etc. is in the routine transformRMS() in actions.c.
