#include <fstream>        // std::ifstream
#include <string>         // std::string

int main()
{
  std::ifstream is;
  is.exceptions (std::ios::failbit);
  try {
    is.open ("unexistent.txt");
  } catch (const std::system_error& e) {
    std::cout << "Exception caught (system_error):\n";
    std::cout << "Error: " << e.what() << '\n';
    std::cout << "Code: " << e.code().value() << '\n';
    std::cout << "Category: " << e.code().category().name() << '\n';
    std::cout << "Message: " << e.code().message() << '\n';
  }
  return 0;
