GetFileSize Function

Overview

The GetFileSize function retrieves the size of a specified file, a file object, or a Folder Enumeration Object as a number of bytes.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

qword = GetFileSize ( mixed file );

Parameters

file

A string containing a qualified file name and path. This parameter supports UTF encoding for filenames with Unicode characters. Or,

a handle to either a file (such as one opened with the OpenFile or CreateFile functions) an FTP connection object or a folder enumeration object.

Return Value

Returns a qword containing the size of the file or -1 on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

Note if an int datatype is used to receive the size, the maximum file size that will be accurately returned is approximately 2.1GB. Files larger than 2.1GB will return an undefined value and a value truncation warning will be placed into the runtime log.

If the file parameter is not valid, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE or ERROR_FILE
