GetFileInformationByHandle

GetFileInforma is a programming utility designed to retrieve detailed information about files on a computer system. It operates by interfacing with the underlying operating system's file system APIs to gather various attributes associated with a given file path.

The information typically returned by GetFileInforma includes, but is not limited to, the file's size in bytes, its creation date and time, its last modification date and time, and its last access date and time. It can also provide details such as the file's owner, permissions, and whether it is a hidden file or a system file. For executable files, it may also extract version information, product names, and other metadata embedded within the file.

The utility is often employed by software developers for tasks such as file management, system monitoring, and data integrity checks. It can be integrated into larger applications or used as a standalone tool for quick file inspection. Its cross-platform compatibility, or lack thereof, depends on the specific implementation and the operating systems it is designed to support. When using GetFileInforma, users typically provide the full path to the file as an input parameter. The output is usually presented in a structured format, making it easy to parse and use in subsequent operations.
