## DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie()

    #include <db.h>

    int
    DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie(DB_MPOOLFILE *mpf, DBT *pgcookie);

The `DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie()` method specifies a byte string that is provided to the functions registered to do input or output processing of the file's pages as they are read from or written to, the backing filesystem store. (See the DB_ENV->memp_register() documentation for more information.)

The `DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie()` method configures a file in the cache, not only operations performed using the specified DB_MPOOLFILE handle.

The `DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie()` method may not be called after the DB_MPOOLFILE->open() method is called. If the file is already open in the cache when DB_MPOOLFILE->open() is called, the information specified to `DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie()` will replace the existing information.

The `DB_MPOOLFILE->set_pgcookie()` method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

### Parameters
