It's the screw that goes through the middle of the caliper arm and spring, and threads into a lug on the fork leg, with a lock-nut.

Hey Big.The bolt referred to is the bolt and spring at the side of the brake caliper.It moves the caliper side to side to get proper clearance of pads to disc.Proper adjustment is to decrease pad contact just until wheel spins freely.

Or it could be a bolt on the front of the bike to stop male ducks hitting the rider  ;D
