function file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri

Returns a reference to the stream wrapper class responsible for a given URI.

The scheme determines the stream wrapper class that should be used by consulting the stream wrapper registry.

Parameters

$uri: A stream, referenced as "scheme://target".

Return value

Returns a new stream wrapper object appropriate for the given URI or FALSE if no registered handler could be found. For example, a URI of "private://example.txt" would return a new private stream wrapper object (DrupalPrivateStreamWrapper).
