What about just:
int i = 256;
then checking the first byte? This should give me the endianness, and makes
a non-destructive write (not sure it it's important). Currently the
commonly used code does not rely on off_t arithmetic, so if possible I'd
like to avoid shift. Does that sound reasonable? Or overly cautious?
