Component body
Alert is an API module that introduces the drupal_set_message_for_user() function. This function is identical in functionality to drupal_set_message(), except that it allows your module to set a message for a given user, even if the user is not the currently logged-in user. The message will be shown the next time the user logs in or sends a request to your site.
It also introduces a number of other optional parameters that modules can use as necessary. For example, modules can set a reference string to a particular message, so that they can modify the message at a later time before it is shown to the user.
