NAME
       gnutls_alert_send - send an alert message to the peer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_alert_send(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_alert_level_t level, gnutls_alert_description_t desc);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session

		   is the level of the alert

       gnutls_alert_description_t desc
		   is the alert description

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.

RETURNS
       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.
