function file_get_stream_wrappers

Provides Drupal stream wrapper registry.

A stream wrapper is an abstraction of a file system that allows Drupal to use the same set of methods to access both local files and remote resources.

Provide a facility for managing and querying user-defined stream wrappers in PHP. PHP's internal stream_get_wrappers() doesn't return the class registered to handle a stream, which we need to be able to find the handler for class instantiation.

If a module registers a scheme that is already registered with PHP, the existing scheme will be unregistered and replaced with the specified class.

A stream is referenced as "scheme://target".

The optional $filter parameter can be used to retrieve only the stream wrappers that are appropriate for particular usage. For example, this returns only stream wrappers that use local file storage:

$local_stream_wrappers = file_get_stream_wrappers(STREAM_WRAPPERS_LOCAL);

The $filter parameter can only filter to types containing a particular flag. In some cases, you may want to filter to types that do not contain a particular flag. For example, you may want to retrieve all stream wrappers that are not writable, or all stream wrappers that are not local. PHP's array_diff_key() function can be used to help with this. For example, this returns only stream wrappers that do not use local file storage:

$remote_stream_wrappers = array_diff_key(file_get_stream_wrappers(STREAM_WRAPPERS_ALL), file_get_stream_wrappers(STREAM_WRAPPERS_LOCAL));

Parameters

$filter: (Optional) Filters out all types except those with an on bit for each on bit in $filter. For example, if $filter is STREAM_WRAPPERS_WRITE_VISIBLE, which is equal to (STREAM_WRAPPERS_READ | STREAM_WRAPPERS_WRITE | STREAM_WRAPPERS_VISIBLE), then only stream wrappers with all three of these bits set are returned. Defaults to STREAM_WRAPPERS_ALL, which returns all registered stream wrappers.

Return value

An array keyed by scheme, with values containing an array of information about the stream wrapper, as returned by hook_stream_wrappers(). If $filter is omitted or set to STREAM_WRAPPERS_ALL, the entire Drupal stream wrapper registry is returned. Otherwise only the stream wrappers whose 'type' bitmask has an on bit for each bit specified in $filter are returned.
