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()
