Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .dvi file?
A .dvi file is a DVI file.
What are the magic bytes for .dvi files?
The magic bytes for DVI files are F7 02 at byte offset 0. These bytes uniquely identify the file format regardless of the file extension.
How do I validate a .dvi file?
To validate a .dvi file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (F7 02) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.
What is the MIME type for .dvi files?
The primary MIME type for .dvi files is application/x-dvi.
Is it safe to open .dvi files?
