Absolutely - the way to do that is to run and commit a transaction via the MAAPI API. The `intro/12-c_maapi` example in the examples collection seems to cover _all_ uses of MAAPI - the most relevant part for you is probably (from the README):

```auto
* during start up: application creates MAAPI transaction and adds current date
  and time to the `start-log` list (shows how to use `maapi_start_trans`,
  `maapi_create` and `maapi_set_elem`)

```

For the full details, see the confd\_lib\_maapi(3) manual page.
