Syntax
NET_API_STATUS NET_API_FUNCTION NetFileGetInfo(

[in] DWORD fileid,
[in] DWORD level,
[out] LPBYTE *bufptr
);
Parameters
[in] servername
Pointer to a string that specifies the DNS or NetBIOS name of the remote server on which the function is to execute. If this parameter is NULL, the local computer is used.
This string is Unicode if _WIN32_WINNT or FORCE_UNICODE is defined.
[in] fileid

[in] level
Specifies the information level of the data. This parameter can be one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|

Return the file identification number and other information about the file. The bufptr parameter is a pointer to a FILE_INFO_3 structure. |
[out] bufptr
Pointer to the address of the buffer that receives the information. The format of this data depends on the value of the level parameter. This buffer is allocated by the system and must be freed using the NetApiBufferFree function. For more information, see Network Management Function Buffers and Network Management Function Buffer Lengths.

If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following error codes.

Remarks
Only members of the Administrators or Server Operators local group can successfully execute the NetFileGetInfo function.
You can call the NetFileEnum function to retrieve information about multiple files open on a server.
If you are programming for Active Directory, you may be able to call certain Active Directory Service Interface (ADSI) methods to achieve the same functionality you can achieve by calling NetFileGetInfo. For more information, see IADsResource and IADsFileServiceOperations.
