Docs For Class abook_local

Description

Backend for address book as a pipe separated file

Stores the address book in a local file

An array with the following elements must be passed to the class constructor (elements marked ? are optional):

   filename  => path to addressbook file
 ? create    => if true: file is created if it does not exist.
 ? umask     => umask set before opening file.
 ? name      => name of address book.
 ? detect_writeable => detect address book access permissions by
                checking file permissions.
 ? writeable => allow writing into address book. Used only when
                detect_writeable is set to false.
 ? listing   => enable/disable listing

NOTE. This class should not be used directly. Use the "AddressBook" class instead.
