Validation Code

How to validate .xroles files in Python

Python
def is_xroles(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid XROLES by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x54, 0x65, 0x58, 0x2C])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(12) == signature

How to validate .xroles files in Node.js

Node.js
function isXROLES(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x54, 0x65, 0x58, 0x2C]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 12).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .xroles files in Go

Go
