What are the magic bytes for .luac files?
The magic bytes for LUAC files are 1B 4C 75 61 at byte offset 0. These bytes uniquely identify the file format regardless of the file extension.
How do I validate a .luac file?
To validate a .luac file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (1B 4C 75 61) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.
What is the MIME type for .luac files?
There is no officially registered MIME type for .luac files. Systems typically use application/octet-stream as a generic fallback when handling this format.
