# encryptionInfo()

This function detects the type of encryption applied to a document, and information about the level to which Panopticon supports decryption. This information can be used to determine whether this file should be passed to decryptFile().

## Syntax

    KVPanopticonError encryptionInfo(
       KVPanopticonContext* const context,
       const char* const inputFilePath,
       KVPanopticonEncryptionInfo* const encryptionInfo /*out*/
    );

## Arguments

`context` | A pointer to `KVPanopticonContext`, initialized by calling init().
`inputFilePath` | A null-terminated C string that contains the path of the file to get encryption info for.
`encryptionInfo` | A pointer to a KVPanopticonEncryptionInfo. If the function completes successfully, it fills this structure out with the encryption information. You must initialize the KVStructHead structure by using the macro `KVStructInit`.

## Returns

If the function was successful, it returns `KVP_Success`. Otherwise, it returns a KVPanopticonError value describing the problem.

## Discussion

After you call this function, you must free the memory it allocates by using resetEncryptionInfo() before you call shutdown()
