Apple Partition Map (APM) is a format that describes the partition layout of a disk. When in the form of a disk image file, it can be thought of as a container format for multiple filesystem image files.

The ASCII characters "PM" appear at offset 512, and (usually?) also at offset 1024. They may also appear at larger multiples of 512.
