Is there a "barebones" program that exports the positions?

Is there a guide to writing a simple c++ console program that all it does is check the Rift's YPR and XYZ positions? My goal is to repeatedly send the position and rotation values to a memory-mapped file to be read by another program. Since not everything supports the Rift, I can get around that by making a game in any engine simply repeatedly read that RAM file. This method worked to implement the Kinect seamlessly in any game engine (or any kind of program for that matter), so I thought it might work here.

Would anyone know where I can start?
