get_real_file_to_edit() WordPress Function

The get_real_file_to_edit() function is used by Wordpress to find the actual file to edit when a user is editing a file via the Wordpress admin. This function will first check if the user is editing a file in the Wordpress theme directory and if so, it will return the path to that file. If the user is not editing a file in the theme directory, the function will check if the user is editing a file in the Wordpress plugins directory and if so, it will return the path to that file. Finally, if the user is not editing a file in either the theme or plugins directory, the function will return the path to the Wordpress default theme file.
