## Components

### bssh (Client)

A high-performance SSH client that can be used as a drop-in replacement for OpenSSH while also providing parallel execution capabilities for cluster management.

```bash
# Single host (SSH compatibility)
bssh user@host

# Multiple hosts
bssh -H host1,host2,host3 'uptime'

# Using clusters
bssh -C mycluster 'hostname'
```

### bssh-server

A lightweight SSH server designed for container environments with built-in audit logging, file transfer filtering, and comprehensive security controls.

```bash
# Generate configuration
bssh-server gen-config -o /etc/bssh/server.yaml

# Generate host key
bssh-server gen-host-key -t ed25519 -o /etc/bssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

# Start server
bssh-server -c /etc/bssh/server.yaml
```

### bssh-keygen

SSH key generation tool compatible with OpenSSH key formats.

```bash
# Generate Ed25519 key (recommended)
bssh-keygen

# Generate RSA key
bssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

# Generate with custom comment
bssh-keygen -C "user@hostname"
```
