+ * \code
+ * KABC::Factory *factory = KABC::Factory::self( "contact" );
+ *
+ * // to allow a transparent configuration of resources, we have
+ * // to use a kconfig object.
+ * KConfig config( "tst" );
+ * config.writePathEntry( "FileName", "/home/foobar/test.vcf" );// resource dependend
+ * config.writeEntry( "FileFormat", "vcard" );                  // resource dependend
+ *
+ * KABC::Resource *res = factory->resource( "file", &config );
+ *
+ * // do something with resource
