std::basic_ios::exceptions(3)  C++ Standard Libary std::basic_ios::exceptions(3)

NAME
     std::basic_ios::exceptions - std::basic_ios::exceptions

Synopsis
	std::ios_base::iostate exceptions() const;	  (1)
	void exceptions( std::ios_base::iostate except ); (2)

	Gets  and  sets the exception mask of the stream. The exception mask de-
     termines which
	error states trigger exceptions of type failure.

	1) Returns the exception mask.
	2) Sets the exception mask to except. If the stream has an  error  state
     covered by
	the exception mask when called, an exception is immediately triggered.

Parameters
	except - exception mask

Return value
	1) The current exception mask.
	2) (none)

Notes
	 This section is incomplete
	 Reason: discuss LWG2349 and link from ios_base::clear, and from
	 (un)formatted(i/o)utputfunction  requirement  pages (or perhaps the be-
     havior should
	 be fully elaborated on the requirement pages and linked from here). See
     also
	 stackoverflow.com/a/35089910

Example
     // Run this code

      #include <fstream>
      #include <iostream>

      int main()
      {
	  int ivalue;
	  try
	  {
	      std::ifstream in("in.txt");
	      in.exceptions(std::ifstream::failbit); // may throw
	      in >> ivalue; // may throw
	  }
	  catch (const std::ios_base::failure& fail)
	  {
	      // handle exception here
	      std::cout << fail.what() << '\n';
	  }
      }

Possible output:
      basic_ios::clear: iostream error
