DESCRIPTION

       This function will send an alert to the peer in order to inform  him  of  something  important  (eg.  his
       Certificate  could  not be verified).  If the alert level is Fatal then the peer is expected to close the
       connection, otherwise he may ignore the alert and continue.

       The error code of the underlying record  send  function  will  be  returned,  so  you  may  also  receive
       GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED or GNUTLS_E_AGAIN as well.
