This is a little vague.

You can run an external program and retrieve its output using the popen()
function in the standard C library. 'man popen' for info.

Any parsing should be pretty much independant of running the external
program - you'd need to say what data you want to parse in order for us to
tell you whether the parser is in GNOME or not :)
