How to validate .acbm files in Python

Python
def is_acbm(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid ACBM by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x46, 0x4F, 0x52, 0x4D, 0x41, 0x43, 0x42, 0x4D])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(8) == signature

How to validate .acbm files in Node.js

Node.js
function isACBM(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x46, 0x4F, 0x52, 0x4D, 0x41, 0x43, 0x42, 0x4D]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 8).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .acbm files in Go

Go

    signature := []byte{0x46, 0x4F, 0x52, 0x4D, 0x41, 0x43, 0x42, 0x4D}
    if len(data) < 8 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:8], signature)

How do I validate a .acbm file?

To validate a .acbm file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (46 4F 52 4D 41 43 42 4D) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.

What is the MIME type for .acbm files?
