  \deprecated Use ex_put_block()(exoid, EX_ELEM_BLOCK, elem_blk_id, elem_type, num_elem_this_blk, num_nodes_per_elem, 0, 0, num_attr_per_elem)
  
  The function ex_put_elem_block() writes the parameters used to
  describe an element block.
  
  \return In case of an error, ex_put_elem_block() 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()
    -  data file opened for read only.
    -  data file not initialized properly with call to ex_put_init().
    -  an element block with the same ID has already been specified.
    -  the number of element blocks specified in the call to ex_put_init() has been exceeded.
  
  \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[in] elem_type         The type of elements in the element block. The maximum length of this
                                string is \p MAX_STR_LENGTH .
  \param[in] num_elem_this_blk  The number of elements in the element block.
  \param[in] num_nodes_per_elem The number of nodes per element in the element block.
  \param[in] num_attr_per_elem  The number of attributes per element in the element block.
  
  For example, the following code segment will initialize an element
  block with an ID of 10, write out the connectivity array, and write
  out the element attributes array:
  
  \code
  int id, error, exoid, num_elem_in_blk, num_nodes_per_elem, *connect, num_attr;
  float *attrib;
  
  \comment{write element block parameters}
  id = 10;
  num_elem_in_blk = 2;
  num_nodes_per_elem = 4;   \comment{elements are 4-node shells}
  num_attr = 1;             \comment{one attribute per element}
  
  error = ex_put_elem_block(exoid, id, "SHELL", num_elem_in_blk, 
                            num_nodes_per_elem, num_attr);
  
  \comment{write element connectivity}
  connect = (int *)calloc(num_elem_in_blk*num_nodes_per_elem, sizeof(int));
  
  \comment{fill connect with node numbers; nodes for first elemen}
  connect[0] = 1; connect[1] = 2; connect[2] = 3; connect[3] = 4;
  
  \comment{nodes for second element}
  connect[4] = 5; connect[5] = 6; connect[6] = 7; connect[7] = 8;
  
  error = ex_put_elem_conn (exoid, id, connect);
  
  \comment{write element block attributes}
  attrib = (float *) calloc (num_attr*num_elem_in_blk, sizeof(float));
  
  for (i=0, cnt=0; i < num_elem_in_blk; i++) {
     for (j=0; j < num_attr; j++, cnt++) {
        attrib[cnt] = 1.0;
     }
  }
  
  error = ex_put_elem_attr (exoid, id, attrib);
  
  \comment{Same result using non-deprecated code}
  error = ex_put_block(exoid, EX_ELEM_BLOCK, id, "SHELL", num_elem_in_blk, 
                            num_nodes_per_elem, 0, 0, num_attr);
  error = ex_put_conn (exoid, EX_ELEM_BLOCK, id, connect);
  error = ex_put_attr (exoid, EX_ELEM_BLOCK, id, attrib);
