We're only going to focus on one of these values: `database page size`. To find the page size, you'll need

to read the [database header](https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html#the_database_header).

In this stage, your `.dbinfo` command only needs to output the "database page size."

### Database file

The SQLite database file begins with the database header. The database page size is stored in the header, right after the magic string.
and here's the output it expects (the number will vary depending on the test database):

Here's how the tester will execute your program:

```
113

$ ./your_sqlite3.sh sample.db .dbinfo

```
115

116

Your program must print the database page size of the database file, like this:
110
117
```

database page size: 1024
118

database page size: 4096

### Notes
122
+
123
+
- For more information about the SQLite database file format, see the [Database File Format](https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html#the_database_header) guide.
124
+
- Database headers use big-endian to store multi-byte fields. See the [MDN article on endianness](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Endianness) to learn more.

Do not use a SQLite client library, implement the SQLite logic yourself.
