Description: DB-&gt;set_lorder
Set the byte order for integers in the stored database metadata. The
host byte order of the machine where the Berkeley DB library was compiled will
be used if no byte order is set.
The access methods provide no guarantees about the byte ordering of the
application data stored in the database, and applications are responsible
for maintaining any necessary ordering.
The DB-&gt;set_lorder method configures a database, not only operations performed
using the specified <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_class.html">DB</a> handle.
The DB-&gt;set_lorder method may not be called after the <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_open.html">DB-&gt;open</a> method is called.
If the database already exists when
<a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_open.html">DB-&gt;open</a> is called, the information specified to DB-&gt;set_lorder will
be ignored.

If creating additional databases in a single physical file, information
specified to DB-&gt;set_lorder will be ignored and the byte order
of the existing databases will be used.
The DB-&gt;set_lorder method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.

Parameters 
 lorder<ul compact><li>The lorder parameter should represent the byte order as an
integer; for example, big endian order is the number 4,321, and little
endian order is the number 1,234.</ul>
 
 Errors
The DB-&gt;set_lorder method
may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:
 
EINVAL<ul compact><li>If the method was called after <a href="../../db4-devel-4.7.25/api_c/db_open.html">DB-&gt;open</a> was called; or if an
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>

Description: DB-&gt;get_lorder
The DB-&gt;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.
The DB-&gt;get_lorder method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.
The DB-&gt;get_lorder method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.

Parameters 
 lorderp<ul compact><li>The DB-&gt;get_lorder method returns the
database byte order in lorderp.</ul>
