Send 'enter' to remote process with libssh

Question

I'm using libssh to log into a terminal and then run a ncurses application.

I'm following this tutorial, sending one character at the time: http://api.libssh.org/master/libssh_tutor_shell.html

The ncurses application waits for user input with getstr(), my problem is that when I write the input and press enter libssh sends '\n' rather than an enter signal, so the curses application crashes.
