Retrieve meta description - jamiew - 2013-10-12

Is there a template tag/function that returns only the meta description? I see there's a

Code:
get_page_meta_keywords()

, and

Code:
get_header()

, but I'd like to retrieve only the meta description.

Look at theme_functions.php

PHP Code:
/**
 * Get Page Meta Description
 *
 * @since 2.0
 * @uses $metad
 * @uses strip_decode
 *
 * @param bool $echo Optional, default is true. False will 'return' value
 * @return string Echos or returns based on param $echo
 */
function get_page_meta_desc($echo=true) {
