Is there a standard C library function to escape C-strings?

For example, if I had the C string:

char example[] = "first line\nsecond line: \"inner quotes\"";

And I wanted to print

"first line\nsecond line: \"inner quotes\""

Is there a library function that will do that transformation for me? Rolling my own just seems a little silly.

Bonus points if I can give it a length to escape (so it stops before or beyond the \0).
