# fpGetDocInfoFile()

This function gets the following format information for a file and populates the `ADDOCINFO` structure:

- File format
- File class
- Major version
- Other attributes

The possible values are defined in `adinfo.h`.

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

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

## Syntax

    BOOL pascal fpGetDocInfoFile(
        KVFilterSession  session,
        char            *szFile,
        ADDOCINFO       *pADDocInfo );

## Arguments

`session` | A Filter session that you initialized by calling fpInit().
`szFile` | A pointer to the input file.
`pADDOCINFO` | The format, file class, and version of the source document. A pointer to the ADDOCINFO structure. The structure of `ADDOCINFO` is defined in `adinfo.h`.

## Returns

- If the format information is extracted, the return value for this function is `TRUE`.
- If the format information is not extracted, the return value is `FALSE`. You can find out what went wrong by calling fpGetKvErrorCodeEx().

## Discussion

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