Assuming that you already have the API calls working:

BOpen(filename)
BStat(buffer)
BClose()

The STAT call (op=15) will return all of the information about the
Btrieve file. Note that the manual calls for the following parameters
on this call:

- Set the Operation Code to 15.
- Pass the Position Block for the file.
- Indicate a Data Buffer to hold the statistics defined for the file.
- Specify the Data Buffer Length, which must be long enough to hold the
file statistics. (For more information, see Table 317 and Table 318.)
- Specify a Key Buffer that is at least 255 characters long.
- Set the Key Number as follows:
Specify 0 to exclude file version and unused duplicate pointers
information. Parse the returned Data Buffer as shown in Table 317.
Specify -1 (0xFF) to include file version and unused duplicate pointers
information. Parse the returned Data Buffer as shown in Table 318.

In your case, you'll need to set the Key Number to -1 on the call, then
parse the returned data buffer according to the table.

See the SDK on-line manuals for more details.
