It looks like the Lua 5.0 coroutine feature is what you need:
Use coroutine.yield to pause execution and coroutine.resume (from c side,
there is some c function too) to go on.
You can take a closer look at it in the manual.

Note that it isn't possible to yield from behind a C function, but this
restriction comes from the fact that you cannot force a C function to return
;-)
You would have the same problem if you tried any other way to get the
function you want.
