This is the description from the header file.
*   with packet: a buffer with DNS wireformat packet with the answer.
*        do not inspect if rcode != 0.
*        do not write or free the packet buffer, it is used internally
*        in unbound (for other callbacks that want the same data).

ldns has functions to convert a wireformat packet to something readable.

You have to call ub_process.  It does not call that for you.  You either
listen on the fd (from the fd() function) for a wakeup and then call
ub_process, or you call ub_process at some other time when it is
convenient for you.
