The function ex_cvt_nodes_to_sides() is used to convert a side set
node list to a side set side list. This routine is provided for
application programs that utilize side sets defined by nodes (as was
done previous to release 2.0) rather than local faces or edges. The
application program must allocate memory for the returned array of
sides. The length of this array is the same as the length of the
concatenated side sets element list, which can be determined with a
call to ex_inquire() or ex_inquire_int().

\return In case of an error, ex_cvt_nodes_to_sides() returns a
negative number; a warning will return a positive number. Possible
causes of errors include:
  -  a warning value is returned if no side sets are stored in the file.
  -  because the faces of a wedge require a different number of
     nodes to describe them (quadrilateral vs. triangular faces), the
     function will abort with a fatal return code if a wedge is
     encountered in the side set element list.

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

\param[in]  num_elem_per_set      Array containing the number of sides for each set. The number 
                                  of sides is equal to the number of elements for each set.

\param[in]  num_nodes_per_set     Array containing the number of nodes for each set.

\param[in]  side_sets_elem_index  Array containing indices into the \c side_sets_elem_list which are
                                  the locations of the first element for each set. These indices are
          0-based.  Unused.

\param[in]  side_sets_node_index  Array containing indices into the \c side_sets_node_list 
                                  which are the locations of the first node for each set. These 
          indices are 0-based. Unused.

\param[in]  side_sets_elem_list   Array containing the elements for all side sets. Internal element IDs
                                  are used in this list (see Section LocalElementIds).

\param[in]  side_sets_node_list   Array containing the nodes for all side sets. Internal node 
                                  IDs are used in this list (see  Section LocalNodeIds).

\param[out]  side_sets_side_list  Returned array containing the sides for all side sets.


The following code segment will convert side sets described 
by nodes to side sets described by local side numbers:

\code
int error, exoid, ids[2], num_side_per_set[2],
    num_nodes_per_set[2], elem_ind[2], node_ind[2],

el_lst_len = ex_inquire_int(exoid, EX_INQ_SS_ELEM_LEN);

\comment{side set element list is same length as side list}
side_list = (int *) calloc (el_lst_len, sizeof(int));

     is also the side number.
