What is the difference between lxd and lxc?

Question

I want to work with lxc containers.

I have installed the ubuntu lxd package, but I work with lxc command. So I do not understand what are the differences between lxc and lxd containers.

Are these the same thing?

Answer 1

LXD is a daemon service that exposes REST API and manages the containers via liblxc.

LXC is a command line tool that calls REST API locally or remotely.
