nfdc doesn't calculate anything, rather just requesting stats from NFD and then reporting it to you.

Depending on how much time you want to spend on this, you could either use some unix pipe'ing to extract the line/number you need or write a tool that requests General Status Dataset from NFD (https://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/ForwarderStatus <https://redmine.named-data.net/projects/nfd/wiki/ForwarderStatus>) and prints the number you are looking for.

Things are made modular, so actual code is "a bit" burried.  You can take a look here https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/tools/nfdc/forwarder-general-module.cpp <https://github.com/named-data/NFD/blob/master/tools/nfdc/forwarder-general-module.cpp>
