filter wp_category_checklist()

I am writing a plug-in and would like to use the wp_category_checklist() function. I need to manipulate the some of the HTML output of this function and have been learning about filters (add_filter) to try an accomplish this task. While reading about filters I found the Plugin API/Filter Reference that lists all the hooks that the filter can use and wp_category_checklist is not listed. Does this mean that there is no way to manipulate the output of this function? Am I misunderstanding how filters work or is there another option?

Thanks,
Shane
