  <para>
   Adds <parameter>filtername</parameter> to the list of filters
   attached to <parameter>stream</parameter>.  This filter will be
   added with the specified <parameter>params</parameter>
   to the <emphasis>beginning</emphasis> of the list and
   will therefore be called first during stream operations.  To
   add a filter to the end of the list, use
   <function>stream_filter_append</function>.
  </para>
  <para>
   By default, <function>stream_filter_prepend</function> will
   attach the filter to the <literal>read filter chain</literal>
   if the file was opened for reading (i.e. File Mode:
   <literal>r</literal>, and/or <literal>+</literal>).  The filter
   will also be attached to the <literal>write filter chain</literal>
   if the file was opened for writing (i.e. File Mode:
   <literal>w</literal>, <literal>a</literal>, and/or <literal>+</literal>).
   <constant>STREAM_FILTER_READ</constant>,
   <constant>STREAM_FILTER_WRITE</constant>, and/or
   <constant>STREAM_FILTER_ALL</constant> can also be passed to the
   <parameter>read_write</parameter> parameter to override this behavior.
   See <function>stream_filter_append</function> for an example of
   using this parameter.
  </para>
  <para>
   As of PHP 5.1.0, this function returns a resource which
   can be used to refer to this filter instance during a call
   to <function>stream_filter_remove</function>.
   Prior to PHP 5.1.0, this function returns &true; on success
   or &false; on failure.
  </para>
  <note>
   <title>When using custom (user) filters</title>
   <simpara>
    <function>stream_filter_register</function> must be called first
    in order to register the desired user filter to <parameter>filtername</parameter>.
   </simpara>
  </note>
  <note>
   <simpara>
    Stream data is read from resources (both local and remote) in chunks,
    with any unconsumed data kept in internal buffers.  When a new
    filter is prepended to a stream, data in the internal buffers,
    which has already been processed through other filters will
    <emphasis>not</emphasis> be reprocessed through the new filter
    at that time.  This differs from the behavior of
    <function>stream_filter_append</function>.

   <function>stream_filter_register</function>, and
   <function>stream_filter_append</function>.
