FileInfo vs GetFileInfo

language

I’m blown away how I never noticed this until today,
and now I’m curious enough to ask …

Why was FileInfo() introduced in Lucee 5
in addition to the original GetFileInfo()?

FileInfo() calculates a checksum hash, GetFileinfo() doesn’t, so it’s faster!

I’ve updated the docs for both to explain this, I went on the same journey

Aha, thanks for that explanation!

The doc updates are the reverse of what you said here?

Was on my phone, heading home after watching the champions League semi final, the docs are correct yeah?

Pretty sure they’re not correct because for example apparently both functions retrieve more data than the other one. :grinning:

the docs are correct, I updated my earlier post to match, but need tweaking
