+///   std::unique_ptr<TFile> f{TFile::Open("name.root", "READ")};
+///   auto bad_input = (f == nullptr); // File could not be open, e.g. if input url was incorrect or incorrect permissions.

+///   auto bad_storage = (f && f->TestBit(TFile::kRecovered)); // The TFile had to run the recovery mechanism when opening the file; often due to the file being incorrectly closed.
