How to validate .anbm files in Python

Python
def is_anbm(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid ANBM by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x46, 0x4F, 0x52, 0x4D, 0x41, 0x4E, 0x42, 0x4D])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(8) == signature

How to validate .anbm files in Node.js

Node.js
function isANBM(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x46, 0x4F, 0x52, 0x4D, 0x41, 0x4E, 0x42, 0x4D]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 8).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .anbm files in Go
