+If an error is encountered when obtaining the contents of an uploaded file
+(for example, when the user interrupts the form submission by clicking on
+a Back or Cancel button) the :attr:`done` attribute of the object for the
+field will be set to the value -1.

 The file upload draft standard entertains the possibility of uploading multiple
 files from one field (using a recursive :mimetype:`multipart/\*` encoding).
 When this occurs, the item will be a dictionary-like :class:`FieldStorage` item.
