Manual:File.php/en

File.php contains a class, File, to represent files in a repository.

Usage notes:
 * A number of public functions, especially many of the 'stubs' (i.e. unimplemented public methods), are meant to be overridden.
 * The name of a file class is known only to the Repo object. To get File objects or generate new ones, use the Repo factory functions. It is usually sufficient to use something like:
 * MediaWikiServices::getInstance->getRepoGroup->findFile
 * MediaWikiServices::getInstance->getRepoGroup->getLocalRepo->newFile
