###

    #include <db.h>

    int
    memp_fset(DB_MPOOLFILE *mpf, void *pgaddr, u_int32_t flags);

# Description

The memp_fset function sets the flags associated with the page referenced by pgaddr without unpinning it from the pool. The pgaddr argument must be an address previously returned by memp_fget.

The flags argument is specified by logically OR'ing together one or more of the following values:

DB_MPOOL_CLEAN
  Clear any previously set modification information (i.e., don't bother writing the page back to the source file).

DB_MPOOL_DIRTY
  The page has been modified and must be written to the source file before being evicted from the pool.

DB_MPOOL_DISCARD
  The page is unlikely to be useful in the near future, and should be discarded before other pages in the pool.

The DB_MPOOL_CLEAN and DB_MPOOL_DIRTY flags are mutually exclusive.

The memp_fset function returns the value of errno on failure, and 0 on success.

# Errors

If a fatal error occurs in Berkeley DB, the memp_fset function may fail and return DB_RUNRECOVERY, at which point all subsequent database calls will also return DB_RUNRECOVERY.

The memp_fset function may fail and return errno for any of the errors specified for the following Berkeley DB and C library functions: abort(3), fcntl(3), fflush(3), fprintf(3), getpid(3), vfprintf(3), and vsnprintf(3).

In addition, the memp_fset function may fail and return errno for the following conditions:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
