No tutorials that I know of, sorry.

But if by module you mean subsystem it's very easy to create the
server end; just have your process communicate on standard io.

If the client should be a monolithic program it has to include SSH
code, but the unix way would be to execute ssh -s with the subsystem
name as written in the server sshd.conf specified just like it was a
command to be executed. -s makes the client ask for the subsystem
instead.

Please don't forget to add your domain name to the name if you're
creating only a local subsystem.
