NAME

       mplist_get - Get the value of a property in a property list.

SYNOPSIS

       void* mplist_get (MPlist * plist, MSymbol key)

DESCRIPTION

       Get the value of a property in a property list. The mplist_get() function searches
       property list plist from the beginning for a property whose key is key.  If such a
       property is found, its value is returned as the type of (void *).  If not found, NULL is
       returned.

       When NULL is returned, there are two possibilities: one is the case where no property is
       found (see above); the other is the case where a property is found and its value is NULL.
       In case that these two cases must be distinguished, use the mplist_find_by_key() function.
