It is the partial derivative with respect to the first variable (a).
y = Hypergeometric1F1[a, b, z];
D[y, a]
\!\(\*
RowBox[{
SuperscriptBox["Hypergeometric1F1",
TagBox[\((1, 0, 0)\),
Derivative],
MultilineFunction->None], "[", \(a, b, z\), "]"}]\)
Use FullForm to see this more clearly.
FullForm[%]
Derivative[1, 0, 0][Hypergeometric1F1][a, b, z]
