Want to know difference between below API’s. User guide says, all will connect to Confd.
confd_connect()
cdb_connect()
maapi_connect()
Each will have different sockets to connect. Like cdb_connect() can have data and subscription socket.
But what to know these different types of connect and where it will be connected.
Sorry, if its a silly doubt.

There’s not much more to say. The different functions all sets up connections to ConfD for different purposes:
- confd_connect() - establish a data provider connection to the ConfD daemon, e.g. for applications that provides operational state, implements actions, etc.
- cdb_connect() - establish a CDP subscriber connection to ConfD, e.g. an app that subscribes for configuration data from CDB.
- maapi_connect() - establish a management agent connection to the ConfD daemon, e.g. for validation callbacks, transaction os set hooks, transformation callbacks etc.
