HAProxyctl can be used in 2 modes. CLI mode and Python API mode. CLI mode, as the name implies, gives you a command, haproxyctl, that can be used to control HAProxy.
You can use the Python API mode to integrate HAProxyctl directly in your Python project.
Every command in HAProxyctl has at least two methods: getResut and getResultObj.
The method getResult returns a formatted string with the results obtained by executing the given HAProxy command, while getResultObj returns a Python object with the results, making it easy to use this results in some Python code.
