Since VMD is running TCL, the keywords are "Call C from TCL
<https://www.google.si/?gws_rd=cr&ei=QvSrU5XeEIroywP8_oCgDg#q=call%20c%20from%20TCL>".
Depending on your problem the top three or four results might be useful.
SWIG is also always an option. An example of C-TCL integration can also be
found here: https://github.com/akohlmey/tclmpi
Disclamer: I have not used any of the tools my self (yet:)

Best regards,
Ajasja
