The book Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory by Robert Boylestad and Louis Nashelsky, Fifth Edition, page 119, says "On specifications sheets dc Beta is usually included as hFE with the h derived from an ac hybrid equivalent circuit.... The subscripts FE are derived from forward-current amplification and common-emitter configurations, respectively." It is equal to the ratio of the change in collector current (delta IC) to the change in base current (delta IB) when VCE is held constant. Therefore, hFE in multitesters would mean the value of this ratio in a specific transistor as shown by the multitester when measurement is being done.

On the same page are the following: "On specification sheets ac Beta is normally referred to as hfe. Note that the only difference between the notation used for the dc beta, specifically, dc Beta = hFE, is the type of lettering for each subscript quantity. The lowercase letter h continues to refer to the hybrid equivalent circuit... and the fe to the forward current gain in the common-emitter configuration."

What is hfe and hfc in transistor?

I don't know about hfc, but hFE is the amplification factor by which the transistor amplifies the base current. Therefore, if hFE is 100, the base current is amplified by a factor of 100.
