You need to wrap the C library function with a PostgreSQL C extension
that uses the fmgr.h APIs, so it's callable from SQL and can return a
result to SQL. See:

The call will return when the C wrapper function returns, so they'll be
executed in series not in parallel.

The calls will be executed in the order they appear in the PL/PgSQL
function.
