Subject: How to export binary string from C to ruby?

Hi,

I'd like to write a ruby method in C, which passes an
arbitrary byte string as a result back to ruby.

All functions I found (like rb_str_new2 ) use
just a pointer and assume the string to be 0-terminated.

Any way to convert a buffer into a ruby string based
on pointer and length?

regards
