Hello,
with apologies, I need to concur and agree.
There indeed is a header in the specification. You learn something every day.

Please let me protest the designation of BMP as a Windows format.
I was referring to its origins, and the platform on which it sees by
far the most application. It was developed by Microsoft, for use within
Windows, in the mid-1980s. It has long been supported on most other
platforms that have graphical capabilities, but that changes neither its
origins nor its primary platform.
A BMP, short for BitMaP, simply is the content of a framebuffer farted out to a
disk.
Not quite. A BMP file contains a header with metadata (actually two
such headers), then a colormap, then pixel data.
