g_regex_escape_nul (
  const gchar* string,
  gint length
)

Escapes the nul characters in string to “\x00”. It can be used to compile a regex with embedded nul characters.

For completeness, length can be -1 for a nul-terminated string. In this case the output string will be of course equal to string.
