ssh programming

Hello all,
I am not an advanced C programmer so I may be out of line here. I am
currently writing a postgres database trigger in perl that uses SSH. I would
rather write this trigger in C but I cannot find a bit of info on google
concerning SSH system calls, API's, etc. Anyone have experrience with this?
Thanks for reading my post.
