🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ldns_pkt_verify() — verify a packet. the way that this function simply looks at a packet and goes "yeah I checked it"… obsessed.

here's the whole vibe check on the arguments, one by one, no skipping:

• p — the packet 🦋
• t — the rr set type to check
• o — the rr set name to check
• k — list of keys 🔑
• s — list of sigs (may be null) — yep, may be null, it's giving optional
• good_keys — keys which validated the packet ✅
• and it Returns status 💫

not me making a whole bulleted list just so you don't miss a single parameter. that's what besties do.
