Hello,
the maapi_get_elem is explained in the man pages or in the ConffD user Guide, section confd_lib_maapi.
From ConfD User Guide:
int maapi_get_elem(int sock, int thandle, confd_value_t *v, const char *fmt, ...);
This reads a value from the path in fmt and writes the result into the result parameter confd_value_t. The path must lead to a leaf node in the data tree. Note that for the C_BUF, C_BINARY,C_LIST, C_OBJECTREF, C_OID, C_QNAME, and C_HEXSTR confd_value_t types the buffer(s) pointed to are allocated using malloc(3), it is up to the user of this interface to free them using confd_free_value().
