It is used to check whether badbit is set. This flag is set by operations performed on the stream when an error occurs while read or writing data, generally causing the loss of integrity of the stream.
Notice that this function is not the exact opposite of good, which checks whether none of the error flags (eofbit, failbit and badbit) are set, and not only badbit −
