The address book file format is not documented.  We access the format
only through the interface of a proprietary third party database, so
we have not needed to have the file format specified (except that
outside developers would like to read the format).  There are not
really any prospects of working out a spec for the format.

Values have meaning only against the context of a set of relationships.

But there is an API spec here :
