    Fail as you would fail in other cases:

    • A command line program would output the unreadable file (full path) and the exact reason for not being able to read it on Stderr and exit with an error code. The functions strerror() and perror() help you in verbalizing the failure reason.
    • A Gui would post an error message like the one above and exit after acknowledgement.
