<h3>Single Address Space</h3>
<p>The simplest form of hdf5 file is a single file containing only
- hdf5 data. The file begins with the boot block, which is
+ hdf5 data. The file begins with the super block, which is
followed until the end of the file by hdf5 data. The next most
complicated file allows non-hdf5 data (user defined data or

+ internal wrappers) to appear before the super block and after the
end of the hdf5 data. The hdf5 data is treated as a single
linear address space in both cases.
