Nowadays you'll mostly find the legs of the duck in the duck confit. Sometimes you might find more parts of the duck being used.
The confit is an old preservation method. The pieces of duck are rubbed with salt and perhaps some garlic and thyme and then cooked in it's own fat. Afterwards the pieces of duck are submerged in the fat and stored. Cans of confit can be kept for years.
