Returns a list of which other LiveJournal users this user lists as their friend.
Returns a verbose list of information on friends a user has listed. Optionally able to include their friends of list, the friends group associated with each user, and a limit on the number of friends to return.

&authInfo;

If set to 1, you will also get back the info from the "friendof" mode. Some clients show friends and friendof data in separate tabs/panes. If you're always going to load both, then use this flag (as opposed to a tabbed dialog approach, where the user may not go to the second tab and thus would not need to load the friendof data.) friendof request variables can be used.
If set to 1, you will also get back the info from the "getfriendgroups" mode. See above for the reason why this would be useful.
If set to a numeric value greater than zero, this mode will only return the number of results indicated. Useful only for building pretty lists for display which might have a button to view the full list nearby.
