## Description

int php_stream_can_cast ( php_stream * stream, int castas)

> Note: Although this function will not perform the conversion, some internal stream state *might* be changed by this call.

> Note: You must explicity compare the return value of this function with one of the constants, as described in php_stream_cast().
