New Comment:
I went through every reference/filesystem function and appropriately
changed the following from int to bool:
chgrp.xml chmod.xml chown.xml copy.xml link.xml mkdir.xml rewind.xml
rmdir.xml symlink.xml touch.xml unlink.xml
They will show up during the next manual build, thanks for the report!

It returns bool and is documented as such, thanks for the report.

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 ???

PHP is the best :))
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.
