+.. versionadded:: 3.2
+    The ``file()`` helper was introduced in Symfony 3.2.
+
+You can use the :method:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\Controller\\Controller::file`
+helper to serve a file from inside a controller::
+
+    public function fileAction()
+    {
+        // send the file contents and force the browser to download it
+        return $this->file('/path/to/some_file.pdf');
+    }
+
+The ``file()`` helper provides some arguments to configure its behavior::
+
+    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File;
+    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\ResponseHeaderBag;
+
+    public function fileAction()
+    {
+        // load the file from the filesystem
+        $file = new File('/path/to/some_file.pdf');
+        return $this->file($file);
+
+        // rename the downloaded file
+        return $this->file($file, 'custom_name.pdf');
+
+        // display the file contents in the browser instead of downloading it
+        return $this->file('invoice_3241.pdf', 'my_invoice.pdf', ResponseHeaderBag::DISPOSITION_INLINE);
+    }
