CvarValue

void (*pfnCvarValue)( const edict_t *pEnt, const char *value );

from alfred@valvesoftware.com, via HLCoders:

When the client responds to the cvar request you will get a callback to pfnCvarValue() with the edict of the player who is responding and the cvars values.

comments:

This API can lead to conflicts when you query more than one cvar from a player at a time. Use IS_QUERYING_CLIENT_CVAR to check if another plugin is querying before you do so.
