That is entirely up to you and the context of your code (is it an
application? A API-stable library? An internal helper library? etc.).

There is no reason you have to use properties to get at the fields. You
can make the structure and the fields public and let code access them
directly (downside: you have no control over the access, thread-safety
might be an issue, etc.). Or you simply have pgm_info_get_foo() getter
functions.
