If you are using 7.2, see section 1.3.2. (Escaping strings for inclusion
in SQL queries) at:
http://www.us.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/libpq-exec.html
If you are using < 7.2, you'll have to create your own function. See
fe-exec.c in current sources for the 7.2 function.
Hope this helps,
