# std::io_errc

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io

Defined in header `<ios>` |  |
enum class io_errc; |  | (since C++11)

The scoped enumeration `std::io_errc` defines the error codes reported by I/O streams in std::ios_base::failure exception objects. Only one error code (`std::io_errc::stream`) is required, although the implementation may define additional error codes. Because the appropriate specialization of std::is_error_code_enum is provided, values of type `std::io_errc` are implicitly convertible to std::error_code.

### [edit] Member constants

Enumeration constant | Value
`stream` | 1

### [edit] Non-member functions

make_error_code(std::io_errc) (C++11) | constructs an iostream error code (function) [edit]
make_error_condition(std::io_errc) (C++11) | constructs an iostream error_condition (function) [edit]

### [edit] Helper classes

is_error_code_enum<std::io_errc> (C++11) | extends the type trait std::is_error_code_enum to identify iostream error codes (class template) [edit]

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    int main()
    {
        std::ifstream f("doesn't exist");
        try {
            f.exceptions(f.failbit);
        } catch (const std::ios_base::failure& e) {
            std::cout << "Caught an ios_base::failure.\n";
            if(e.code() == std::io_errc::stream)
                std::cout << "The error code is std::io_errc::stream\n";
        }
    }

Output:

    Caught an ios_base::failure.
    The error code is std::io_errc::stream
