DNSSEC validate a given getdns record
Library
DNS Resolver library (libgetdns, -lgetdns)
Synopsis
#include <getdns.h>
getdns_return_t
getdns_validate_dnssec (getdns_list *record_to_validate,
getdns_list *bundle_of_support_records,
getdns_list *trust_anchor_records)
Description
If an application wants the API to perform DNSSEC validation without using the extensions, it can use the getdns_validate_dnssec() helper function. The API will use the resource records in bundle_of_support_records to construct the validation chain and the DNSKEY or DS records in trust_anchor_records as trust anchors. The default list of trust anchor records that is used by the library to validate DNSSEC can be retrieved by using the getdns_root_trust_anchor helper function.
record_to_validate the resource record being validated
bundle_of_support_records records used to construct the validation chain
trust_anchor_records trust anchor records to use for the validation
Return Values

GETDNS_DNSSEC_INDETERMINATE validation could not be completed
GETDNS_DNSSEC_INSECURE one or more pieces of the validation chain are demonstrably incorrect
GETDNS_DNSSEC_SECURE validation succeeded
GETDNS_RETURN_MEMORY_ERROR an attempt to allocate memory failed
