HPL file format details:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our analysis of the HPL files produces the following result:

HPL is rarely used as a file extension and includes different formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:
