How can I properly sanitize the update_option in WordPress?

Question

I am using this part of the code in my WordPress plugin to update the option.

update_option('button_loc_shop_page', $_POST['button_loc_shop_page']);

I want to sanitize this. How can I properly sanitize it? Any comments or pointers would be really appreciated.

Register your setting and you can define the callback function that receives the data during the saving operation. — t31os, Commented Nov 5, 2022 at 8:49
Hi, I have tried to do that, but couldn't find the way to sanitize it, because here the updat_option is using a POST request as a value. So, not quite sure how can I do that. Can you please share a rough line of code on how can I achieve that? Thanks!! — Rajin Sharwar, Commented Nov 6, 2022 at 7:51
