Robot SSHLibrary pass ssh connection to my library class - robotframework

Question

Using SSHLibrary currently I execute ssh commands in test suite file or keyword file. Is it possible to do that in my current library file? Meaning my library function just forms the string now. I wanted to executed that in ssh connection in library file.
test/testsuit.robot
*** Settings ***
Library SSHLibrary
Library ${EXEC_DIR}/lib/mylib.py WITH NAME llib
Suite Setup open_connection_and_login
Suite Teardown Close All Connections
*** Variables ***
${HOST} 10.x.x.x.x
${USERNAME} myuser
${PASSWORD} mypassword
*** Test Cases ***
example test
${sshstring}= llib.form_the_sshstring ls
${output}= Execute Command {sshstring}
*** Keywords ***
open_connection_and_login
Open Connection ${HOST}
Login ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}
lib/mylib.py
def form_the_sshstring(input):
sshstring = "{}".format(ls)
return sshstring
Expecting something like..
*** Test Cases ***
example test
${output}= llib.run_the_sshstring ls
/lib/mylib.py
import SSHLibrary
def run_the_sshstring(input):
sshstring = "{}".format(ls)
out = SSHLibrary.SSHCleint(sshstring)
return out

From within your library file you can get a reference to the imported SSHLibrary -- and thus, it's keywords -- with the built-in keyword Get Library Instance. With that, you can call the SSHLibrary keyword Execute Command
Example:
# mylib.py
from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn
def run_the_sshstring(input):
sshlib = BuiltIn().get_library_instance("SSHLibrary")
result = sshlib.execute_command(input)
return result
