  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.

varargs:
  name: file
  type: str
