Private Functions
In some cases you may want certain functions hidden from public access. To make a function private, simply add an underscore as the name prefix and it will not be served via a URL request. For example, if you were to have a function like this:
private function _utility()
{
// some code
}
Trying to access it via the URL, like this, will not work:
example.com/index.php/blog/_utility/
...
I'm wondering how your users could gain access to a model function from the command line or URL?
It seems not possible since the CI URL does accept a reference to model functions.
I believe this holds for the model classes as well
