+ *   Replaces any special characters (anything that's not alpha-numeric or a
+ *   dash) with an underscore.
+ *

+ *
+ * PARAMETERS
+ *   `buffer'      String to be handled.
+ *   `buffer_size' Length of the string. The function returns after
+ *                 encountering a null-byte or reading this many bytes.
