<b>Description: Db::get_byteswapped</b>
<p>The Db::get_byteswapped method returns if the underlying database
files were created on an architecture of the same byte order as the
current one, or if they were not (that is, big-endian on a little-endian
machine, or vice versa). This information may be used to determine
whether application data needs to be adjusted for this architecture or
not.</p>
<p>The Db::get_byteswapped method may not be called before the <a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> method is called.</p>
<p>The Db::get_byteswapped 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.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>isswapped</b><ul compact><li>If the underlying database files were created on an architecture of the
same byte order as the current one. 0 is stored into the memory location
referenced by <b>isswapped</b>.  If the underlying database files were
created on an architecture of a different byte order as the current one,
1 is stored into the memory location referenced by <b>isswapped</b>.</ul>
<br>
<br><b>Errors</b>
<p>The Db::get_byteswapped method
may fail and throw
<a href="../api_cxx/except_class.html">DbException</a>,
encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of
the following non-zero errors:</p>
<br>
<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>If the method was called before <a href="../api_cxx/db_open.html">Db::open</a> was called; or if an
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
