### Description: DbMpoolFile::set_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 memory pool, 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 memory pool 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
