How to find out if there is a sitemap.xml on the site?

Usually sitemap.xml is located at the standard domain.com/sitemap.xml address, but in general it can be located at a different address and manually added to Yandex Webmaster and Google Search Console this way.
Question: is there a second option and a non-standard path, can I somehow find out if there is a sitemap.xml on the site or not? Can a query in the search for some kind of ask a special one?

Open the main site, for example https://toster.ru and add /sitemap.xml at the end - like this https://toster.ru/sitemap.xml . If you see the same as the toaster, there is no sitemap. If you see code with xml markup, there is a high probability that this is it. To confirm this probability - you need to read it.
It may well be that it is physically there, but the curvature of the server administrator or the one who works with ftp does not allow opening this file, because, for example, there are no rights)

As an option, check /robots.txt, they usually indicate the Sitemap directive there.

Sometimes, not often, you can find the following request:
site: toster.ru filetype: xml
In stores for such a request, a map is usually found.
As for toster.ru specifically, the map can be found here: toster.ru/robots.txt
Here is the map itself: https://qna.habr.com/sitemap/index.xml (map content)
Here are links to questions from this content : https://qna.habr.com/sitemap/questions.xml
Most likely, these are not all questions.
