Description:
Symfony has a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\BinaryFileResponse class that can be used to deliver files through PHP to the client. It also supports X-Sendfile and X-Accel-Mapping via BinaryFileResponse::trustXSendfileTypeHeader().
file_transfer() has been dropped in favor of that.
Drupal 7:
return file_transfer($uri, $headers);
Drupal 8:
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\BinaryFileResponse;
...
return new BinaryFileResponse($uri, 200, $headers);
