That's fine, but this needs to be reflected in the manual.

Prior to PHP 8.0.0, fpassthru() returned false if a resource was
passed which is not an open stream.  As of PHP 8.0.0, a TypeError
is thrown instead.  Cf. <https://3v4l.org/gNerI>.

Description:
------------
According to https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php
fpassthru can return false, even though definition is "fpassthru ( resource
$stream ) : int". So, there is a contradiction and it seems like in description, rather in
definition. Unless it's planned to replace Fatal Error with false return.

Expected result:
----------------
Correct description of return values is expected

Actual result:
--------------
Promises false in case of error.
