Suggested change
function curl_multi_strerror(int $error_code): ?string {}
function curl_multi_strerror(int $errno): ?string {}

to use the same terminology as all the curl_*_errno APIs?

I'm not sure I like this idea more than having a nice $error_code param name ^^ + the manual mentions error code in quite a few places. Nevertheless, I'm open for asking around for other opinions :)

"errno" is a common enough abbreviation, but honestly I'd prefer the full "error_code". Especially if that's what's in the manual and what we use elsewhere.

For this particular function, the manual uses $errornum. Checking statistics for current stubs parameter names, we have the following names in use:

    "errno": 8,
    "error": 6,
    "error_number": 3,
    "error_code": 2,
    "errorcode": 2,

Some of them might have different meaning though.

From this I conclude ... I have no idea.

Anyway, I'm fine with $error_code here. The one place we really need to use $errno is APIs like pcntl_strerror/posix_strerror/socket_strerror that deal with the C errno concept. In other places I don't see a big problem with $error_code.

Ah sorry, I wasn't very clear. So the manual uses "error code" in the descriptions. What I tried to say with this is that I don't see any reason to make the param name any different from what we normally use in other places, since it's a clear and short term.

/** @param int|null $msgs_in_queue */
function curl_multi_info_read(CurlMultiHandle $multi_handle, &$msgs_in_queue = null): array|false {}
/** @param int $queued_message_count */
function curl_multi_info_read(CurlMultiHandle $multi_handle, &$queued_message_count = null): array|false {}

Descriptive, but a bit long. Would simply $message_count be sufficient? Or int $queued_messages
