You need to an ABAddressBookRef. Read the following documentation, it shows you exactly how to do what you want: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ContactData/Conceptual/AddressBookProgrammingGuideforiPhone/Chapters/BasicObjects.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007744-CH3-SW1
Have you read this section of the Address Book Framework Programming Guide?

But I have no idea about what I need to do? Can anyone provide some information, library or link for my to study? Thank you very much.
You have to import the AddressBook.framework and/or the AddressBookUI.framework. See the Address Book Programming Guide for assistance. With these frameworks imported you can display an ABPeoplePickerNavigationController to retrieve an contact object for example.
Hope that helps

By using IPhone SDK (on a jail broken iPhone), how can I share a contact (.vcf file) through mail as same as the address book is doing?

Have you looked at the Address Book Framework reference? It allows you to fetch records from the Address Book database. You may have to put this data in vCard format yourself, I don't know if the framework provides this functionality for you.
Yes, you can do this on the iPhone:
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = CFAutorelease(ABAddressBookCreate());
NSArray* contacts = (NSArray*)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
Erica Sadun's ABContactHelper classes come in mighty handy if you want to mess around with the Address Book interface.
