## DbMpoolFile::set_ftype()

    #include <db_cxx.h>

    int
    DbMpoolFile::set_flags(int ftype);

The `DbMpoolFile::set_ftype()` method specifies a file type for the purposes of input or output processing of the file's pages as they are read from or written to, the backing filesystem store.

The `DbMpoolFile::set_ftype()` method configures a file in the cache, not only operations performed using the specified DbMpoolFile handle.

The `DbMpoolFile::set_ftype()` method may not be called after the DbMpoolFile::open() method is called. If the file is already open in the cache when DbMpoolFile::open() is called, the information specified to `DbMpoolFile::set_ftype()` will replace the existing information.

The `DbMpoolFile::set_ftype()` method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.

### Parameters

#### ftype

The ftype parameter sets the file's type for the purposes of input and output processing. The ftype must be the same as a ftype parameter previously specified to the DbEnv::memp_register() method.

### Class

DbEnv, DbMpoolFile
