In fdisk, printing a partition table gives the headers:

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

What's a block? It does not seem to be defined anywhere. Perhaps an update to the man page would be appropriate. A line in the explanation above the partition listing would be even better.

On my system, a block appears to be 2-512 byte sectors, but is it always so?
