Description:
------------
The documentation:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-errno.php

Says that pcntl_errno() is an alias for pcntl_strerror(), whereas it's actually an 
alias for pcntl_get_last_error(), as seen in the source code:

https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/pcntl/pcntl.c#L160



Expected result:
----------------
Alias of pcntl_get_last_error()

Actual result:
--------------
Alias of pcntl_strerror()

pcntl_errno() is an alias to pcntl_get_last_error() since it has
been introduced by the fix for bug #52173. Also it wouldn't make
sense for pcntl_errno() to be an alias of pcntl_strerror() as the
latter returns a string and an errno is usually an int.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
