+
+    Method: NextSectionFileL
+
+    Description: Parses sections from configuration files.
+
+    Open and read configuration source and parses a required section.
+    If start tag is empty the parsing starts beginning of the configuration
+    file. If end tag is empty the parsing goes end of configuration file.
+    This method will parse next section after the earlier section if aSeeked
+    parameter is not given.
+    If configuration file includes several sections with both start and end
+    tags so aSeeked parameter seeks the required section. The aSeeked
+    parameters indicates section that will be parsed.
+
+    Parameters: const TDesC& aStartTag: in: Indicates a start tag for parsing
+                const TDesC& aEndTag: in: Indicates an end tag for parsing
+                TInt aSeeked: in: a seeked section which will be parsed
+
+    Return Values:  CStifSectionParser* : pointer to CStifSectionParser object
+                    NULL will return if file size or aSeeked is not positive
+                    NULL will return if start tag is not found
+                    NULL will return if end tag is not found
+                    NULL will return if parsed section length is not positive
