You mean FI_INFO (not FL_INFO). The "FI" stands for file info, so only use those values in a fileinfo loadable module.

For a listfiles module, 0 means FL_NONE. "FL" steads for file list. Get it?

Are you trying to use the same script to implement both module types? If so,
you'd need to pass an extra parameter (that you define) to determine whether it's a file "list" or an "info" request.
