Research direction

Start at the ssh.connect(...) entry point shown in the issue and compare it with the ssh localhost -l steel -t customparameter example. Done means the connection configuration can pass through this custom parameter and the behavior is verified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

external question

Is currently possible to add a custom parameter or option to the connection config? For example: -t customparameter

This:
ssh localhost -l steel -t customparameter

Here:

ssh.connect({
  host: 'localhost',
  username: 'steel',
  privateKey: Buffer.from('...')
})

Thanks in advance.
