# fpGetFileInfo()

This function returns information about a file such as its format and character set.

## Syntax

    KVPDFState pascal fpGetFileInfo(
        const KVPDFContext context,
        const char* const pszInFileName,
        KVDocInfo* const pDocInfo);

## Arguments

`Context` | A context value obtained by using fpInit().
`pszInFileName` | A null-terminated C string that contains the path of the file to retrieve information about.
`pDocInfo` | A pointer to a `KVDocInfo` structure to write the file information to.

## Returns

- If the call is successful, a `KVPDFState` structure with `eErrorCode` set to `KVERR_Success`.
- If the call is unsuccessful, a `KVPDFState` structure that indicates the reason for the error.

## Discussion

- On Windows systems, specify the paths in the local Windows code page.
- You must not initialize the `KVDocInfo` structure by using the `KVStructInit()` macro.
- If the call is unsuccessful and returns an error state, the memory that `pDocInfo` points to has not been modified.

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