    Return the tuple of *attrs* attributes for a class or instance.

    The tuple also allows accessing the fields by their names (see below for

    Args:

    Raises:

        attrs.exceptions.NotAnAttrsClassError:
            If *cls* is not an *attrs* class.

    Returns:
        tuple (with name accessors) of `attrs.Attribute`
