Depends on how low-level you want to go and what you
exactly want to do with it. But if you only want to
read it, the easiest way is by getting your data from
/proc/net/ipv6_route. For 'writing' to the routing
tables I suggest you use the appropriate IOCTL's.
Which ofcourse can also be used for reading them.

Also you might take a look at Zebra which does this
for many OS's.
