You could do something like this to get a byte array to pass to the
function if passing a string doesn't work:
IN: scratchpad "hello" utf8 encode .
B{ 104 101 108 108 111 }
Other encodings are available, like ascii or utf16, etc..

Hi,
Thanks for the note. However I am not writing the function declaration
myself, I'm using the ones provided in extra.gtk.ffi. Can I use encode to
roll my own into the char-array type?

The c-string type handles encoding and decoding to a known encoding like UTF8
which is the default I think.
See the "encode" and "decode" words for under the covers how it works.

Hi Mark,
You can try using the ``c-string`` type in a C function declaration in lieu
of a ``char*``. I think it will do what you need.
