CGIGETVALUE(3)

NAME
cgigetvalue - gets the value belonging to name

SYNOPSIS
#include <cgi.h>
const char *
cgigetvalue(char *name);

DESCRIPTION
The cgigetvalue() function is used to get the value of name passed to a cgi script. It will automaticly determines the method used to submit the information from the browser.

The first call will automaticly create a internal search table that is used to look up the values. This will be used in following calls to cgigetvalue() until either cgiclose(3) or cginewquerystr(3) is called. After one of those functions is called, cgigetvalue() will either reread the QUERY_STRING environment variable if the method is GET, or parse the string passed to cginewquerystr(3) .

RETURN VALUES
The cgigetvalue() function returns a pointer to the value associated with name if name exists; otherwise a null pointer is returned.
