which one to use: custom-set-variables, customize-set-variable, or customize-set-value?

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I recently read a message where, if I read it correctly, it was recommended to
use `customize-set-variable' and `customize-set-value' to change settings in
an init file while playing nice with the custom system. I looked at their
documentation and I have trouble understanding how they differ. I see there is
also `custom-set-variables' which has a different signature.

So my question is: should I use `setq', `customize-set-variable',
`customize-set-value', or `custom-set-variables' to change in my init file
variables that exist in the custom ecosystem?

Thanks,
Alan
