Neither, AFAIU.  It's the WINDOW argument of quit-restore-window
function, i.e. the window the function is quitting.  The upper-case
WINDOW signals that it refers to an argument of a function, not to
some symbol by that name.

I do agree that the description of the function is very hard to
understand, due to the multitude of possible formats of the
quit-restore parameter and the meaning of its elements.
