bool good() const;
Returns true if the most recent I/O operation on the stream completed successfully. Specifically, returns result of rdstate() == 0.
See ios_base::iostate for the list of conditions that set the stream status bits.

[edit] Parameters
(none)
[edit] Return value
true if the stream error flags are all false, false otherwise.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <cstdlib> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> int main() { const char* fname = "/tmp/test.txt"; std::ofstream ofile{fname}; ofile << "10 " << "11 " << "12 " << "non-int"; ofile.close(); std::ifstream file{fname}; if (!file.good()) { std::cout << "#1. Opening file test.txt failed - " "one of the error flags is true\n"; return EXIT_FAILURE ; } // typical C++ I/O loop uses the return value of the I/O function // as the loop controlling condition, operator bool() is used here for (int n; file >> n;) std::cout << n << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; if (file.bad()) { std::cout << "#2. I/O error while reading - badbit is true\n"; return EXIT_FAILURE ; } else if (file.eof()) std::cout << "#3. End of file reached successfully - eofbit is true\n" "This is fine even though file.good() is false\n"; else if (file.fail()) std::cout << "#4. Non-integer data encountered - failbit is true\n"; }
Possible output:
10 11 12 #4. Non-integer data encountered - failbit is true
