#include <db.h> int DB->get_lorder(DB *db, int *lorderp);
         The DB->get_lorder() method returns the database byte order; a byte
         order of 4,321 indicates a big endian order, and a byte order of 1,234
         indicates a little endian order. This value is set using the
         DB->set_lorder()
         method.
    
         The DB->get_lorder() method may be called at any time during the life
         of the application.
    
         The DB->get_lorder() 
            
                  method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
