[firefly]

Hello,

Is there an API/call in FreeBSD that for a given IPv4 address can return a RTT (round trip time) and Hop Count?

As far as I know, no.

Have a look at the source for traceroute:

I was hoping for something similar to IPHLPAPI provides an API to obtain RTT(Round Trip Time) and Hop Count in the Windows world.

Simple and useful. It may be that something may need to written as I've not been able to find anything equivalent.
