IEdiFile

IEdiFile is the contract implemented by EdiFile; it defines the public surface for reading, inspecting, and appending to an EDI interchange, and is the type returned by IEdiFileBuilder.Read() and consumed by IEdiFileBuilder.Write(file).

Purpose

• Declares the interchange header/trailer accessors, the flat Segments collection, the lazily-built FunctionalGroups hierarchy, and the mutation operations (Add, RefreshGroupings) that any conforming implementation must provide.
• Lets code depend on the interchange abstraction rather than the concrete EdiFile class, supporting substitution in tests or alternate implementations.*

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Common.Files.Edi
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Framework.Common.Files

Public members

Member	Signature	Purpose
Header	IsaSegment Header { get; }	The strongly-typed interchange header parsed from the first ISA segment (BR-029).
HeaderSegment	IEdiSegment HeaderSegment { get; }	The raw ISA segment instance used as the source for Header.
Trailer	IeaSegment Trailer { get; }	The strongly-typed interchange trailer parsed from the first IEA segment (BR-029).
TrailerSegment	IEdiSegment TrailerSegment { get; }	The raw IEA segment instance used as the source for Trailer.
Segments	IEnumerable<IEdiSegment> Segments { get; }	The full flat, ordered collection of every segment in the interchange, including control segments.
FunctionalGroups	IFunctionalGroupContainer FunctionalGroups { get; }	The GS/GE-delimited functional-group hierarchy for this file, built only when ISA, IEA, GS, and GE are all present (BR-030).
Add	void Add(IEdiSegment segment)	Appends a segment to the interchange, assigning it the next sequential index (BR-031) and re-deriving groupings when it is a control segment (BR-032).
RefreshGroupings	void RefreshGroupings()	Re-locates the ISA/IEA header and trailer and rebuilds functional groups when all four control segments are present (BR-030).
FileName	string FileName { get; set; }	The file name associated with this interchange.
SegmentCount	int SegmentCount { get; }	The total number of segments currently in Segments, including control segments.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
