# fpGetXmpInfoFile()

This function extracts XMP metadata from a file.

DEPRECATED: The `fpGetXmpInfoFile()` function is deprecated in KeyView 23.2.0 and later. OpenText recommends that you create a `KVDocument` to represent each document, and access metadata by calling the function fpGetMetadataList().

This function is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality and might be removed in future.

## Syntax

    KVErrorCode pascal fpGetXmpInfoFile(
        void            *pMainContext,
        char            *szInputFile,
        KVXmpInfo       *pXmpInfo,
        DWORD            dwXmpOptions );

## Arguments

`pMainContext` | A pointer to the `TPMainContext` structure, which is defined in `kvtypes.h`.
`szInputFile` | A pointer to the input file.
`pXmpInfo` | A pointer to the KVXmpInfo structure.
`dwXmpOptions` | Set this argument to `1` to return charset information, the raw XMP packet, and the path and value pairs of all XMP elements. Set this argument to `2` to return the raw XMP packet.

## Returns

- If the call is successful, the return value is `KVError_Success`.
- If the call is not successful, the return value is an error code that indicates the problem.

## Discussion

- After the `pXmpInfo` argument is successfully filled, and its data is no longer required, call fpFreeXmpInfo() to free the memory allocated by this function.

- On Windows, `szInputFile` must be in the local Windows code page.
