- * This function will verify the given certificate chain against the
- * CA constrains and/or the certificate available via DANE.
- * If no information via DANE can be obtained the flag %DANE_VERIFY_NO_DANE_INFO
- * is set. If a DNSSEC signature is not available for the DANE
- * record then the verify flag %DANE_VERIFY_NO_DNSSEC_DATA is set.
+ * This is the low-level function of dane_verify_crt(). See the
+ * high level function for documentation.

- * Due to the many possible options of DANE, there is no single threat
- * model countered. When notifying the user about DANE verification results
- * it may be better to mention: DANE verification did not reject the certificate,
- * rather than mentioning a successful DANE verication.
- *
- * Note that this function is designed to be run in addition to
- * PKIX - certificate chain - verification. To be run independently
- * the %DANE_VFLAG_ONLY_CHECK_EE_USAGE flag should be specified; 
- * then the function will check whether the key of the peer matches the
- * key advertized in the DANE entry.
- *
- * If the @q parameter is provided it will be used for caching entries.
+ * This function does not perform any resolving, it utilizes
+ * cached entries from @r.

  * Returns: On success, %DANE_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a
  *   negative error value.
