"^"在下面的代码中是什么意思？

@implementation AppController

- (IBAction) loadComposition:(id)sender
{
    void (^handler)(NSInteger);

    NSOpenPanel *panel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];

    [panel setAllowedFileTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"qtz", nil]];

    handler = ^(NSInteger result) {
        if (result == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton) {
            NSString *filePath = [[[panel URLs] objectAtIndex:0] path];
            if (![qcView loadCompositionFromFile:filePath]) {
                NSLog(@"Could not load composition");
            }
        }
    };

    [panel beginSheetModalForWindow:qcWindow completionHandler:handler];
}
@end

===我搜索过并搜索过 - 这是对内存的某种特殊参考吗？
