Get File Info from Device

Command 0xD825 - Get File Info from Device

The host uses this command to request the file information of a file stored on the device. File types include standard files (images and certificates), MagTek custom files (configuration, firmware), and in some cases even large data blob output (such as signature capture data). In many cases, the file information retrieved by this command have been sent by a host previously using Command 0xD811 - Start Send File to Device (Secured) or Command 0xD812 - Start Send File to Device (Unsecured). In other cases, such as retrieving file information of signature capture data, the data may originate with the device and the host uses this command to retrieve the information. Such information is not persistent, in the sense that the device does not retain it through power cycles.

The sequence of events is as follows:

1

Compose and send request

The host composes a command request in the format below, and sends it to the device.

2

Device responds

The device sends a response in the format below. The response contains the file information.

3

File not found

If the file cannot be found, then a response of failure will be sent to the host.
