In the Windows Device Manager, one can view a list of available
devices and their statuses, i.e. whether they are working properly,
driver info, etc.

I presume that an API must exist whereby I can inquire
programmatically this information via relatively simple high level
calls. Could anybody point me in the right direction for C/C++ coding
examples, etc.?

Thank you very much!

DEVCON source from the DDK. This is command-line Device Manager.

The API is a set of SetupDiXxx routines, they are documented. Start with
SetupDiGetClassDevs.
