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 @code{GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED}  or

@code{GNUTLS_E_AGAIN}  as well.

@strong{Returns:} On success, @code{GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS}  (0) is returned, otherwise

an error code is returned.
