 The SSH library

```

# Why?

Why not ? :) I've began to work on my own implementation of the ssh protocol

because i didn't like the currently public ones.

Not any allowed you to import and use the functions as a powerful library,

and so i worked on a library-based SSH implementation which was non-existing

in the free and open source software world.

# How/Who?

accessing ssh client services through C libraries calls in a simple manner.
