Is there a command-line program that determines the status of files (uploaded, uploading, ineligible, etc) in the iCloud drive?
For example, I would like to be able to use a program such as find to get a list of files that have not been successfully uploaded to iCloud drive.
I'm assuming they will be an xattr like they currently are on 10.8.3 (and older)
Currently, you can view which extended attributes a file has with ls -l@.
But to see the contents of the attributes, you have to use xattr.
You can watch individual files in Finder, but there's no GUI for the progress of iCloud changes.
In El Capitan and later a progress bar can be accessed by clicking on the wheel in the Finder sidebar.

You can use
brctl status.It outputs alot, but you can grep pretty easily, for example
brctl status |grep needs-sync-up |cut -d'"' -f2will show you all files waiting for being uploaded (without their path), or usebrctl status |grep 'somefile.ext'for checking the status of somefile.ext.See
brctl --helpfor more.
