Are you looking for user-space API that provide the information you need?
The reason I ask is that all I've seen of dce requires you to have
an posix-like application to run on top of the protocol you want to use.
I don't know if DCE allows you directly call linux kernel functions.
Based on the above answer, I can point you more resources.
