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.

returned, so you may also receive GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED or
GNUTLS_E_AGAIN as well.

code is returned.
