This command takes the strings given to it in arguments and returns
corresponding File objects that you can use as sources for build
targets. The difference is that file objects remember the subdirectory
they were defined in and can be used anywhere in the source tree.
example: |
As an example suppose you have source file `foo.cpp` in subdirectory
`bar1` and you would like to use it in a build target that is defined
in `bar2`. To make this happen you first create the object in `bar1`
like this:
```meson
foofile = files('foo.cpp')
```
Then you can use it in `bar2` like this:
```meson
executable('myprog', 'myprog.cpp', foofile, ...)
```
Meson will then do the right thing.
