\deprecated Use ex_get_attr()(exoid, EX_ELEM_BLOCK, elem_blk_id, attrib) instead

The function ex_get_elem_attr() reads the attributes for an element
block. Memory must be allocated for(\c num_attr x \c num_elem_this_blk)
attributes before this routine is called.

Because the attributes are floating point values, the application code
must declare the array passed to be the appropriate type (\c float or
\c double) to match the compute word size passed in ex_create() or
ex_open().

\return In case of an error, ex_get_elem_attr() returns a negative
number; a warning will return a positive number.  Possible causes of
errors include:
  -  data file not properly opened with call to ex_create() or ex_open()
  -  invalid element block ID.
  -  a warning value is returned if no attributes are stored in the file.

\param[in]  exoid         exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().
\param[in]  elem_blk_id   The element block ID.
\param[out] attrib        Size [num_elem_this_blk*num_attr].
                          Returned list of(\c num_attr x num_elem_this_blk) attributes for
        the element block, with the \c num_attr index cycling faster.


Refer to the code example in ex_get_elem_block() for an example
of reading the element attributes for an element block.
