Alexandre Gomes Gaigalas d9cdc118b2 Introduce REUSE compliance
This commit introduces REUSE compliance by annotating all files
with SPDX information and placing the reused licences in the
LICENSES folder.

We additionally removed the docheader tool which is made obsolete
by this change.

The main LICENSE and copyright text of the project is now not under
my personal name anymore, and it belongs to "The Respect Project
Contributors" instead.

This change restores author names to several files, giving the
appropriate attribution for contributions.

Size

  • Size("B"|"KB"|"MB"|"GB"|"TB"|"PB"|"EB"|"ZB"|"YB" $unit, Validator $validator)

Validates whether the input is a file that is of a certain size or not.

v::size('KB', v::greaterThan(1))->assert('/path/to/file');
// Validation passes successfully

v::size('MB', v::between(1, 2))->assert('/path/to/file');
// → The size in megabytes of "/path/to/file" must be between 1 and 2

v::size('GB', v::lessThan(1))->assert('/path/to/file');
// Validation passes successfully

Accepted data storage units are B, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, and YB.

This validator will accept:

  • string file paths
  • SplFileInfo objects (see SplFileInfo)
  • Psr\Http\Message\UploadedFileInterface objects (see PSR-7)
  • Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface objects (see PSR-7)

Template as prefix

The template serves as a prefix to the template of the inner validator.

v::size('MB', v::equals(2))->assert('/path/to/file');
// → The size in megabytes of "/path/to/file" must be equal to 2

v::size('KB', v::not(v::equals(56)))->assert('/path/to/file');
// Validation passes successfully

Template placeholders
