I might be misreading your question but s6-svstat /path/to/servicedir I
believe answers your question, at least as far as reading what
s6-supervise knows about (pid, status, time in status, a few other
details). If you're on a system with a functional procfs you can then
use the pid to query most information from /proc/$pid.

s6-supervise knows the process id of its primary child and as I
mentioned above you can ask it for that information via s6-svstat. It
does not know anything else about the process because it doesn't need
to. However, there are several options to s6-svstat that make output
information in easy-to-parse formats which make follow-on queries to
/proc trivial.
