    Depends on what you are doing.
    if all you want is to open a tunnel automatically, then you could probably
    get away with launching ssh as a background process, and killing it once
    no longer needed. If however you need to integrate more deeply into ssh,
    you are probably better off starting out with the ssh program source and
    patching it to make calls to your own code for username, password, and
    data.
    Commercially, there are SSH libraries that allow you to walk what is
    perhaps a more familiar path - but they are non-free.
