FWIW, parsing the csv output (-c option) is pretty straight forward.
In bash you could get the address and reachability with something like
this:

chronyc -c sources | while IFS=, read t s addr stratum poll reach rest; do
	echo $addr $reach
done

But I agree this is not ideal. The plan is to provide a library that
could be used by C applications and later maybe add some bindings
for other languages.
