  int fail() const;
 
  Remarks
 
  Returns a nonzero value if any I/O error (not end of file) has occurred.
  This condition corresponds to either the badbit or failbit error flag
  being set. If a call to bad returns 0, you can assume that the error
  condition is nonfatal and that you can probably continue processing
  after you clear the flags.
