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.
