Look into src/interfaces/libpq/fe-lobj.c for several examples.
However, please note the comment in the documentation:

   This interface is somewhat obsolete, as one can achieve similar
   performance and greater functionality by setting up a prepared
   statement to define the function call.  Then, executing the statement
   with binary transmission of parameters and results substitutes for a
   fast-path function call.

Anything you could call normally can be called this way too.
