What is the name of this structure in JavaScript?

Question

I see in the jQuery code this structure but I don't know the name and how use correctly.

(function($) {
    ...
})(jQuery);

I suppose it's a form of past arguments to the function.

Immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/IIFE — Satpal, Jan 23 '18 at 16:39
It's called a module pattern. Read all about it here: http://www.adequatelygood.com/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth.html — Hielke Walinga, Jan 23 '18 at 16:43
