Description
Retrieve attached file path based on attachment ID.By default the path will go through the 'get_attached_file' filter, but
passing a true to the $unfiltered argument of get_attached_file() will
return the file path unfiltered.
The function works by getting the single post meta name, named
'_wp_attached_file' and returning it. This is a convenience function to
prevent looking up the meta name and provide a mechanism for sending the
attached filename through a filter.
