How to validate .sap files in Python

Python
def is_sap(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid SAP by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x53, 0x41, 0x50, 0x0D, 0x0A])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(5) == signature

How to validate .sap files in Node.js

Node.js
function isSAP(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x53, 0x41, 0x50, 0x0D, 0x0A]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 5).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .sap files in Go

Go
func IsSAP(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x53, 0x41, 0x50, 0x0D, 0x0A}
    if len(data) < 5 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:5], signature)
}
