Is there an ioctl or some other binary means of getting the info that
/proc/net/dev provides?

You can do it with netlink sockets. See print_linkinfo() in the iproute2
code.

Seems that a lot of code is needed just to read the stats :(

Maybe it is easier to parse the output from "ip -s -s link show [iface]". At 
least you get all the counters, which you don't from /proc/net/dev.
