CID Clarification

[Robert Jones]

Hello,

I've done some skimming of the list archives and was hoping to get
some clarification on the use of client ID (CID). My general
understanding is that a CID refers to an instance of qmicli and it's
particularly important to use the "--client-cid=[CID]" and
"--client-no-release-cid" arguments when dealing with NAS and WDS
commands so the same application instance that is maintaining the
network connection descriptors is called.

I'm sure I don't understand the concept entirely, could someone
perhaps provide more general information? Additionally, I'm interested
in identifying the use cases where it is required to use the above
arguments.

Thanks,
Robert Jones
