    Question When does ios::badbit get set?

    When and why does ios::badbit get set on an input or output operation on a file with an ifstream or ofstream?
    I did a little Googling to try to answer this on my own, but didn't really find anything explaining in detail when and why this happens.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Hmm...it looks like one of the reasons is hardware failure. I hope that doesn't indicate there's something wrong with my computer...

    I'm an alien from another world. Planet Earth is only my vacation home, and I'm not liking it.
