What is the purpose of (win) in javascript?

I have the following code:

 $.modal({
        content: '<p>Are you sure you want to delete?</p>',
        title: 'Delete confimation',
        maxWidth: 500,
        buttons: {
                    'Yes': function(win) {
                        win.closeModal();
                    },
                    'No': function(win) {
                        win.closeModal();
                    }
        }
    });

Can someone explain what (win) means? I can see it used a few times but I am not sure what it is doing?

Bottom-up explanation: It's a variable name to the anon function being passed as the value of key Yes and No in the object for buttons.

Top-down explanation: You are calling modal plugin and passing an argument to the function which is an object that has 4 members: content, title, maxWidth, buttons. buttons is an object (basically you are passing an object inside an object), with 2 members, Yes and No, which is are anonymous functions, each with an argument win.

Basically win is the instance of the modal you are opening via $.modal()

In this case, pressing both Yes and No will simply close the modal without doing anything
