 * Common file handling functions.
 *
 * @section file_security Uploading files and security considerations
 *
 * Using \Drupal\file\Element\ManagedFile field with a defined list of allowed
 * extensions is best way to provide a file upload field. It will ensure that:
 * - File names are sanitized by the FileUploadSanitizeNameEvent event.
 * - Files are validated by hook implementations of hook_file_validate().
 * - Files with insecure extensions will be blocked by default even if they are
 *   listed. If .txt is an allowed extension such files will be renamed.
 *
 * The \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\File field requires the developer to ensure
 * security concerns are taken care of. To do this, a developer should:
 * - Add the #upload_validators property to the form element. For example,
 * @code
 * $form['file_upload'] = [
 *   '#type' => 'file',
 *   '#title' => $this->t('Upload file'),
 *   '#upload_validators' => [
 *     'file_validate_extensions' => [
 *       'png gif jpg',
 *     ],
 *   ],
 * ];
 * @endcode
 * - Use file_save_upload() to trigger the FileUploadSanitizeNameEvent event and
 *   hook_file_validate().
 *
 * Important considerations, regardless of the form element used:
 * - Always use and validate against a list of allowed extensions.
 * - If the configuration system.file:allow_insecure_uploads is set to TRUE
 *   then potentially insecure files will not be renamed. This setting is not
 *   recommended.
