I think your code is equivalent to the following Lua code:

_ENV[global] = package.loadlib(path, 'luaopen_' .. global)()

Then again, it is not clear why this should not just be:

_ENV[global] = require(global)

There are several ways to execute Lua code from a C host, for example,
luaL_dostring().
