Separate the block definition from the calling method to make it clearer:
void (^completionHandler)(NSError*) = ^(NSError* error)
{
// here, write the code that makes up the body of the completion handler
}
[self saveToURL:[self fileURL] ofType:@"myDoc" forSaveOperation:saveOp completionHandler:completionHandler];
Here we just named the block 'completionHandler', but it could be anything, such as 'fred' - it's just a variable identifier.
