1val - take only one value (required for some vCard attributes)
samerow - more attribute values to a vCard attribute (e.g. o and ou for ORG)

A vCard is generated if only the attribute vcard is requested by the URL. To include a link "GET vCard" to an entry, add a link action to a template, e.g. to person's template:

item linkact vCard   vcard "?vcard"

It is possible to request vCards also for other object classes than for persons. Of course the results may be useless.
