Those are _CONSTANTS_. As the user you're not supposed to either know their actual values or
make your code depend on them. In this particular case you are also unable to use such values
anyway, since the only errors one can handle are those one knows beforehead.
For debug purposes there is
curl_error (<https://php.net/manual/function.curl-error.php>).
Note that the upstream itself is not documenting the values on functions' return values, so it
would be quite strange for PHP to document them.

From manual page: http://www.php.net/curl.constants

The names of the predefined constants are listed, but their values are missing.
This is ridiculous.
I go to that page because I'm being returned an integer from a curl function and I wanted to
check to which constant it corresponds, and that's not documented.
