An extension of `SplFileObject` that uses exceptions.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You would use this class the exact same way you use `SplFileObject`, because it is `SplFileObject`. The only difference is that errors will throw an exception when they occur.

```
use KHerGe\File\File;

$file = new File('example.txt');
$file->fseek(-1);

/*
 * Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'KHerGe\File\Exception\FileException' with message 'The file "test.txt" could not be seeked.' in /path/to/file/src/lib/KHerGe/File/Exception/FileException.php on line 157
 *
 * KHerGe\File\Exception\FileException: The file "test.txt" could not be seeked. in /path/to/file/src/lib/KHerGe/File/Exception/FileException.php on line 157
 *
 * Call Stack:
 *     0.0001     248992   1. {main}() /path/to/file/test.php:0
 *     0.0011     382928   2. KHerGe\File\File->fseek() /path/to/file/test.php:6
 */
```

> Exceptions originally thrown by `SplFileObject` will also be wrapped in the `FileException` class included with this library.
