Bug description: ftruncate wrong return value
Description:
------------
Hello folks,
Of some reasons the return value of ftruncate($handle, $size) is of type
int not of type bool.
Is there a general reason that the half of the file functions return true
and false as int and the other half true and false as bool ???

Reproduce code:
---------------
$handle = fopen("existing.file", "r+");
$return = ftruncate($handle, 17);
if ( $return === true ) // does not match
{
echo "truncate ok, return value is bool";
}
if ( $return == true ) // does match
{
echo "truncate ok, return value is bool or int";
}
if ( $return == 1 ) // does match
{
echo "truncate ok, return value is int";
}
Expected result:
----------------
the return value of ftruncate should be of type bool not of type int.
