# file info

This block is part of the [`files`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files) group and was last modified in core [`v10.4.28`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/100428).

Gets basic file information.

- file required `file`

- name `value`

- type `value`

- size `number` size in bytes

| `name` |
| --- |
| `size` |
| `type` |

A typical wiring for [file info](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/files/file_info): the `name` out pin feeds [set custom field](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/mutations/mutations_set_custom_field); the `size` out pin feeds [<=](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/condition/condition_lte).
