HDF5 Local Heap (HEAP).

A local heap stores small, variable-length data — most commonly the link names referenced by symbol table entries in old-style (v1) groups. Each group has its own local heap pointed to by the Symbol Table message or the root symbol table entry’s scratch-pad.

The heap header stores metadata while the actual string data lives in a contiguous data segment elsewhere in the file.
