gfilequeryinfo

gfilequeryinfo is a function found in some programming environments, particularly those dealing with file system interactions. Its primary purpose is to retrieve detailed information about a specific file. This information typically includes various attributes that describe the file's characteristics and state within the file system.

When gfilequeryinfo is invoked, it usually requires the path to the file as an input parameter. Upon successful execution, it returns a data structure or object containing metadata. Common pieces of information that can be obtained through gfilequeryinfo include the file's size, modification timestamps (creation, last access, last modification), permissions, owner and group IDs, and potentially the file type (e.g., regular file, directory, symbolic link).

The exact details of what gfilequeryinfo returns and how it is implemented can vary depending on the specific programming language, operating system, or library being used. However, the core functionality remains consistent: providing a way to programmatically inspect and understand the properties of files. Developers often use gfilequeryinfo for tasks such as file sorting, checking file accessibility, performing file integrity checks, or making decisions based on file attributes. It serves as a fundamental tool for managing and interacting with the underlying file system.
