There is the libproc library which is part of the procps package.  It
has some handy functions (defined in readproc.h).  The library is under
the GPL though, so any program linked with it is also GPL, which may be
a problem for you.

The other thing to do is to read /proc yourself.  It isn't that
complicated.
