Same name and namespace in other branches

2. 9 core/lib/Drupal/Core/File/file.api.php \hook_file_url_alter()
3. 10 core/lib/Drupal/Core/File/file.api.php \hook_file_url_alter()

Alter the URL to a file.

This hook is called from file_create_url(), and is called fairly frequently (10+ times per page), depending on how many files there are in a given page. If CSS and JS aggregation are disabled, this can become very frequently (50+ times per page) so performance is critical.

This function should alter the URI, if it wants to rewrite the file URL.

Parameters

$uri: The URI to a file for which we need an external URL, or the path to a shipped file.
