Sozu Command API

aid: sozu:sozu-command-api
name: Sozu Command API
description: The Sozu Command API provides programmatic control of the Sōzu HTTP reverse proxy at runtime.
  External tools communicate with the Sozu main process through a secure Unix socket using a protobuf-based
  binary protocol (IPC). The sozu-command-lib crate ships the protobuf schema, configuration parser, replicated
  state, channels, and file descriptor passing helpers. This enables dynamic cluster configuration, certificate
  management, and backend routing changes without restarts.
