Thanks for your interest! Please help us understand what you have in
mind by showing some example command lines and explaining how they will
work. A use case, a real-world problem that this will solve, is good
too.

You will want to refer to this documentation for getting the source
code.

As for code organization, --sh-exec and --exec are handled in the files
ncat_posix.c and ncat_exec_win.c. Whatever changes you make should work
on both POSIX and Windows. With luck, you'll only have to use the netrun
and netexec function, which are already abstracted.
