How to validate .odc files in Python

Python
def is_odc(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid ODC by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x50, 0x4B])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(2) == signature

How to validate .odc files in Node.js

Node.js
function isODC(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x50, 0x4B]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 2).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .odc files in Go

Go
func IsODC(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x50, 0x4B}
    if len(data) < 2 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:2], signature)
}

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a .odc file?

A .odc file is a ODC file.

What are the magic bytes for .odc files?

The magic bytes for ODC files are 50 4B at byte offset 0. These bytes uniquely identify the file format regardless of the file extension.

How do I validate a .odc file?

To validate a .odc file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (50 4B) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.

What is the MIME type for .odc files?

The primary MIME type for .odc files is application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.chart.

Is it safe to open .odc files?

ODC (.odc) files are generally safe to open. They are classified as low risk because they primarily contain data rather than executable code. However, always ensure files come from a trusted source.
