Get the number of the revision when deleting a file attachment?

Hi,
When deleting a file attachment via the Mediawiki::API->edit, how to get the revision number at that moment?
For example, when i upload a file, i can find it by the query:
  # Find the number of revision of the page which has the id="$id"
  my $query = {
                        action => 'query',
                        prop => 'revisions',
                        rvprop => 'ids',
                        pageids => $id,
                };
                my $result = $mediawiki->api($query);
  ..........................................................................

But, when deleting a file, we can't use this mechanism. I wonder if the API support a function to get this number of revision?
Thanks.

Files don't have a revision number.
You seem to be checking the revision of the description page of a file.

Or by "deleting a file attachment" you mean "edit the page to change
text"? (which incidentally happens to remove an image from it)

Yeah, i know that file doesn't have the revision number but when we delete a file attachment. we have also a revision number for it. My question is how to get this number via the API.

No, i mean deleting a file in the list of file uploads.
