/*!
 The function ex_get_glob_var_time() reads the values of a
 single global variable through a specified number of time
 steps. Memory must be allocated for the global variable values array
 before this function is invoked.

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

\return In case of an error, ex_get_glob_var_time() 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()
  - specified global variable does not exist.
  - a warning value is returned if no global variables are stored in the file.

 \param exoid           exodus file ID returned from a previous call to ex_create() or ex_open().

 \param glob_var_index  The index of the desired global variable. The first variable has an index of 1.

 \param beg_time_step   The beginning time step for which a global variable value is desired.
                        This is not a time value but rather a time step number, as
                        described under ex_put_time(). The first time step is 1.

 \param end_time_step   The last time step for which a global variable value is desired. If
                        negative, the last time step in the database will be used. The first
                        time step is 1.

 \param[out] glob_var_vals Returned array of (end_time_step - beg_time_step + 1) values
                           for the glob_var_index$^{th}$ global variable.

The following is an example of using this function:

\code
#include "exodusII.h"
int error, exoid, num_time_steps, var_index;
int beg_time, end_time;

float *var_values;

num_time_steps = ex_inquire_int(exoid, EX_INQ_TIME);

var_index = 1;
beg_time = 1;
end_time = -1;

var_values = (float *) calloc (num_time_steps, sizeof(float));

error = ex_get_glob_var_time(exoid, var_index, beg_time, 
                             end_time, var_values);
\endcode
