function file_get_file_references

file_get_file_references(FileInterface $file, FieldDefinitionInterface $field = NULL, $age = EntityStorageInterface::FIELD_LOAD_REVISION, $field_type = 'file')

Retrieves a list of references to a file.

Parameters

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

\Drupal\Core\Field\FieldDefinitionInterface|null $field: (optional) A field definition to be used for this check. If given, limits the reference check to the given field. Defaults to NULL.

int $age: (optional) A constant that specifies which references to count. Use EntityStorageInterface::FIELD_LOAD_REVISION (the default) to retrieve all references within all revisions or EntityStorageInterface::FIELD_LOAD_CURRENT to retrieve references only in the current revisions of all entities that have references to this file.

string $field_type: (optional) The name of a field type. If given, limits the reference check to fields of the given type. If both $field and $field_type are given but $field is not the same type as $field_type, an empty array will be returned. Defaults to 'file'.

Return value

array A multidimensional array. The keys are field_name, entity_type, entity_id and the value is an entity referencing this file.
