fileInfo [-remove
string] [string][string]
fileInfo is NOT undoable, queryable, and NOT
editable.
fileInfo provides a mechanism for keeping information related to a
Maya scene file. Each invocation of the command consists of a
keyword/value pair, where both the keyword and the associated value
are strings. The command may be invoked multiple times with
different keywords. Maya emits this command several times into each
file it creates, primarily to provide details such as which
productization or packaging of the program was used (e.g
"Complete", "Unlimited"), the specific version and build
identification that was run, and the operating system on which it
was run. Maya may make use of this information when present in
files it reads. All keyword/value pairs defined by use of the
fileInfo command are preserved when Maya saves the scene, whether
to an ASCII or binary file.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
