You can't get there directly. You cannot call C functions
directly from a bourne shell.

Instead, compile a small C-program that passes thru your
string from the command line (and hence, also from bourne).

main(int argv, char** argv) {
/* omitting error checking */

the_c_function_i_wanted_to_call(argv[1]);

}

Compile this program, and move it to your /usr/local/bin.
From there, you can call it from a shell.

Another alternative is to use perl or python instead, and
recompile them to include your C-function in a custom
module.
