<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#multifile.MultiFile" title="multifile.MultiFile"><tt class="xref py py-class docutils literal"><span class="pre">MultiFile</span></tt></a> object enables you to treat sections of a text file as

is composed of three kinds of lines: data, section-dividers, and end-markers.
MultiFile is designed to support parsing of messages that may have multiple
nested message parts, each with its own pattern for section-divider and
end-marker lines.</p>
