   This section contains several subsections, but at least one. Each subsection
   can have an arbitrary name which will be the name of an addressbook known to
   khard.  Each of these subsections **must** have a *path* key with the path to
-  the folder containing the vCard files for that addressbook.  The *path* value
-  supports environment variables and tilde prefixes.  :program:`khard` expects
+  the folder containing the vCard files for that addressbook. Optionally, you
+  can set the *type* value to either ``discover`` or ``vdir``, the default. The
+  *path* value supports environment variables and tilde prefixes. When using
+  the ``discover`` type, it also supports globbing. :program:`khard` expects
   the vCard files to hold only one VCARD record each and end in a :file:`.vcf`
   extension.
