+### `mg_get_var( data, data_len, var_name, dst, dst_len );`
+
+### Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+|**`data`**|`const char *`|Encoded buffer from either POST data or the URI of a GET call|
+|**`data_len`**|`size_t`|Size of the encode buffer including the terminating NULL|
+|**`var_name`**|`const char *`|Name of the variable to search for|
+|**`dst`**|`char *`|Output buffer to store the content of the variable|
+|**`dst_len`**|`size_t`|Length of the output buffer|
+
+### Return Value
+
+| Type | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+|`int`|The length of the variable or an error code|
+
+### Description
+
+The function `mg_get_var()` returns the value of a variable which is passed to the server with either a POST method, or as a parameter in the URI of a GET call. The data pointer passed to the function points to a form-URI encoded buffer. This can either be POST data or the `request_info.query_string`. The name of the searched variable and a buffer to store the results are also parameters to the function.
+
+The function either returns the length of the variable when successful, **`-1`** if the variable could not be found and **`-2`** if the destination buffer is NULL, has size zero or is too small to store the resulting variable value.
