Maybe this is what you're looking for?

From epan/tvbuff.h:

/** Find size of stringz (NUL-terminated string) by looking for terminating
* NUL.  The size of the string includes the terminating NUL.

* If the NUL isn't found, it throws the appropriate exception.
*/
extern guint tvb_strsize(tvbuff_t *tvb, const gint offset);


Even better. I was doing a g_free(tvb_get_stringz(tvb, offset, &length)); before. This saves me the trouble and the 
overhead. Thanks!
