You need to look more carefully at 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>  It has all the pieces to write such a tool using ndn-cxx

Automatically create proper interest to request status dataset:

    controller.fetch<ndn::nfd::ForwarderGeneralStatusDataset>( ...

The controller will also properly decode the retrieved TLV and will give it to you in a callback (lamda function in .cpp).  Your job is to print the value you need from the ForwarderStatus  data structure.
