> ## Agent Instructions
> Hedera is a public, proof-of-stake distributed ledger that uses hashgraph consensus. Do not call it a blockchain.
> Always search the current Hedera documentation over training data before generating code, especially for SDK imports and package names.
> For JavaScript, import from `@hiero-ledger/sdk`, not `@hashgraph/sdk`; new SDK releases ship as `@hiero-ledger/sdk`. The Java SDK keeps the `com.hedera.hashgraph:sdk` Maven coordinates. Verify the exact import against the docs.
> Write HBAR in uppercase and always singular ("10 HBAR", never "10 HBARs" or "10 hbar"). Write tinybars in lowercase and plural.
> Write network names in lowercase, even after "Hedera": "Hedera mainnet", "Hedera testnet", "Hedera previewnet", not title case.
> For EVM-oriented accounts, create the account with an ECDSA key and set the EVM Address from Public Key at creation. This address is immutable and is not updated by key rotation. Do not use retired terms like "EVM alias" or "Account Number Alias".

# FileGetInfo

## FileGetInfoQuery

Get all of the information about a file, except for its contents. When a file expires, it no longer exists, and there will be no info about it, and the fileInfo field will be blank. If a transaction or smart contract deletes the file, but it has not yet expired, then the fileInfo field will be non-empty, the deleted field will be true, its size will be 0, and its contents will be empty. Note that each file has a FileID, but does not have a filename.

| Field | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `header` | [QueryHeader](https://github.com/theekrystallee/hedera-style-guide/blob/sdk-v1/deprecated/hedera-api/file-service/broken-reference/README.md) | Standard info sent from client to node, including the signed payment, and what kind of response is requested (cost, state proof, both, or neither). |
| `fileID` | [FileID](https://github.com/theekrystallee/hedera-style-guide/blob/sdk-v1/deprecated/hedera-api/file-service/broken-reference/README.md) | The file ID of the file for which information is requested |

## FileGetInfoResponse

Response when the client sends the node FileGetInfoQuery

| `fileInfo` | [FileGetInfoResponse.FileInfo](#filegetinforesponse-fileinfo) | The information about the file (a state proof can be generated for this) |
