When WoW loads a script file it passes two arguments to it: the name of the addon and a private table you can use to store data in (to use across different files). You save them by reading them from the "varargs" passed to the file like in the code above.

The private table can be used to share code/functions across different files without having to create a table that lives in the global namespace, making things cleaner
