DbMpoolFile::set(int ftype);
29
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_ftype method specifies a file type for the purposes of
30
input or output processing of the files pages as they are read from or
31
written to, the backing filesystem store. The <b>ftype</b> argument
32
must be the same as a <b>ftype</b> argument previously specified to
33
the <a href="../api_cxx/memp_register.html">DbEnv::memp_register</a> method. (See the <a href="../api_cxx/memp_register.html">DbEnv::memp_register</a>
34
documentation for more information.)
35
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_ftype method configures a file in the memory pool, not only
36
operations performed using the specified <a href="../api_cxx/mempfile_class.html">DbMpoolFile</a> handle.
37
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_ftype interface may not be called after the <a href="../api_cxx/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile::open</a>
39
If the file is already open in the memory pool when
40
<a href="../api_cxx/memp_fopen.html">DbMpoolFile::open</a> is called, the information specified to DbMpoolFile::set_ftype
41
will replace the existing information.
42
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_ftype method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an exception that
43
encapsulates a non-zero error value on failure, and returns 0 on success.
45
<p>The DbMpoolFile::set_ftype method may fail and throw an exception or return a non-zero error for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
46
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbMpoolFile::set_ftype method may fail and
47
either return <a href="../ref/program/errorret.html#DB_RUNRECOVERY">DB_RUNRECOVERY</a> or throw a
48
<a href="../api_cxx/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>,
49
in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls will fail in the same way.
