Check whether there are errors when reading dataset content.

.. warning::

Most drivers or data formats do not have a built-in integrity mechanism.
Thus a successful run of that program does not necessarily mean that the dataset
is identical to the state it had just after being generated. The checks performed
are generally sufficient to detect whether the dataset is truncated compared to
its expected size, but this is not even necessarily guaranteed for some formats
(for example the CSV driver may not be able to detect truncation).
