Bugs
----

[](#bugs)

The library successfully tested on PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.5 and 7.0 via travis-ci.org.

For HHVM there are several little bugs:

- `copy()` does not throw exception if the source does not exist.
- `$file->getMetaData()` for closed `$file` does not throw an exception.
- If create a file using `createTempFile()` and gets meta data using `$file->getMetaData()` then the file `meta->filename` does not exists.
