Moves a file to a new location and update the file's database entry.

• Checks if $source and $destination are valid and readable/writable.
• Performs a file move if $source is not equal to $destination.
• If file already exists in $destination either the call will error out, replace the file or rename the file based on the $replace parameter.
• Adds the new file to the files database.

Parameters

\Drupal\file\FileInterface $source: A file entity.

string $destination: A string containing the destination that $source should be moved to. This must be a stream wrapper URI.

\Drupal\Core\File\FileExists|int $fileExists: (optional) The replace behavior when the destination file already exists.

Return value
