How do I check if a particular profile is a friend’s?

I am building a site with custom profile display. I want to display some content (WordPress posts) only if the current profile (on which it is being displayed) is that of a friend. In other words, if the viewer is not my friend, they shouldn’t see posts I published.
I am assuming an if, else loop would do, but I don’t know the bp function for checking if the owner of current profile is my friend.

Check out the friends_check_friendship() function in /bp-friends.php.

The parameters are:
friends_check_friendship( $user_id, $possible_friend_id )

And it returns true if the person is a friend.

Example:

global $bp;
$is_friend = friends_check_friendship( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->displayed_user->id );
if ( $is_friend ) { run your custom code; }

I get this error, “Fatal error: Call to undefined function friends_check_friendship()”. Did this change or something, because it seems that I can’t set the variable to “friends_check_friendship”.
