[boost] boost::iostream - no way to set failbit or badbit in stream from device?

Hallo,
how can I set failbit or badbit in boost::iostream::stream if I detect
some error in boost::iostream::device::read/write?
Is it possible without throwing exceptions?

Example: in the write method of a device which models a socket
connection an EPIPE error (peer has closed socket) was detected. How can
I set the boost::iostream::stream (which uses the device) to be not
useable?

Regards,
Oliver
