PWRDATA (.pwrdata)

.pwrdata file signature | application/octet-stream

PWRDATA is a data file format used by SAP Power Monitor, maintained as part of the application's data storage. It stores monitoring information for power analysis, reporting, and related operational records within the software. The format is considered safe, and no public specification is commonly documented, so compatibility may vary across versions.

How to validate .pwrdata files in Python

Python 
def is_pwrdata(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid PWRDATA by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x70, 0x77, 0x72, 0x64, 0x61, 0x74, 0x61])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(7) == signature

How to validate .pwrdata files in Node.js

Node.js 
function isPWRDATA(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x70, 0x77, 0x72, 0x64, 0x61, 0x74, 0x61]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 7).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .pwrdata files in Go

Go 
func IsPWRDATA(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x70, 0x77, 0x72, 0x64, 0x61, 0x74, 0x61}
    if len(data) < 7 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:7], signature)
}
