It is called curl_escape(). Man page online is found here:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_escape.html

It is used like this:

 char *raw_string = " string with spaces ";

 char *url = curl_escape( raw_string, strlen(raw_string) );

 if(url) {

   printf("Converted: %s\n", url);

   free(url); /* not that the string must be freed after having been used */

 }
