Overview
Sends an alert to the peer depending on the error code returned by a gnutls function. This function will call gnutls_error_to_alert() to determine the appropriate alert to send.
This function may also return GNUTLS_E_AGAIN, or GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED.
This function historically was always sending an alert to the peer, even if err was inappropriate to respond with an alert (e.g., GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS). Since 3.6.6 this function returns success without transmitting any data on error codes that should not result to an alert.
Returns
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.
