NAME
       gnutls_alert_send_appropriate - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_alert_send_appropriate(gnutls_session_t session, int err);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
                   is a gnutls_session_t type.

       int err     is an error code returned by another GnuTLS function


DESCRIPTION
       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.
