  [out] | num_nodes | Returned number of nodal points.
  [out] | num_elem | Returned number of elements

The following code segment will read the initialization parameters from the open exodus file:

int num_dim, num_nodes, num_elem, num_elem_blk,
num_node_sets, num_side_sets, error, exoid;
char title[MAX_LINE_LENGTH+1];
/* read database parameters */
error = ex_get_init (exoid, title, &num_dim, &num_nodes,
&num_elem, &num_elem_blk, &num_node_sets, &num_side_sets);
