## Interface MultiFileBuilderProperties<T>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - the return type of all methods for allowing method chaining
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    `MultiFileBuilderParameters`
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    `MultiFileBuilderParametersImpl`

      public interface MultiFileBuilderProperties<T>

  Definition of a properties interface for the parameters of a multiple file configuration builder.

  This interface defines a number of properties for configuring a builder managing multiple file-based configurations which are selected by a pattern. Properties can be set in a fluent style.

  Important note: This interface is not intended to be implemented by client code! It defines a set of available properties and may be extended even in minor releases.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### setFilePattern

          T setFilePattern​(String p)

      Sets the pattern string. Based on this pattern the configuration file to be loaded is determined.
      Parameters:
        `p` - the pattern string
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining

    - #### setManagedBuilderParameters

          T setManagedBuilderParameters​(BuilderParameters p)

      Sets a parameters object to be used when creating a managed configuration. These parameters configure sub configurations.
      Parameters:
        `p` - the parameters object for a sub configuration
      Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining
