File Content Extraction 25.4
Filter SDK C Programming Guide

# fpCanFilterFile()

This function determines whether a file's format is supported by File Content Extraction. The supported formats are listed in Document Readers.

DEPRECATED: The `fpCanFilterFile()` function is deprecated in KeyView 23.2.0 and later. OpenText recommends that you create a `KVDocument` to represent each document, and use fpCanFilter() instead.

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 fpCanFilterFile( KVFilterSession session, char *szFile );

## Arguments

`session` | A Filter session that you initialized by calling fpInit().
`szFile` | A pointer to a string that contains the path of the input file. On Windows this must be encoded in the local Windows code page.

## Returns

- If the file format is supported, the return value is `KVERR_Success`.
- If the file format is not supported, the return value is an error code.
