Description

It's a nightmare to use M$ APIs because we usually have to use reverse engineering to understand what's happening.
So it's great that we almost get every day a new framework - and even the open source project have better docs.

Here, just the example of the 1st issue in this 'Doc': the parameter destFileName is not at all described as it should be. E.g.: What happens if just a filename is passed?

Yes, this is a shame.
