Method: Vpim::DirectoryInfo.decode

Defined in:
lib/vpim/dirinfo.rb

.decode(card) ⇒ Object

Decode card into a DirectoryInfo object.

card may either be a something that is convertible to a string using #to_str or an Array of objects that can be joined into a string using #join(“n”), or an IO object (which will be read to end-of-file).

The lines in the string may be delimited using IETF (CRLF) or Unix (LF) conventions.

A DirectoryInfo is mutable, you can add new fields to it, see Vpim::DirectoryInfo::Field#create() for how to create a new Field.

TODO: I don’t believe this is ever used, maybe I can remove it.
