the numbers are 1) # of ions , # of ions, the number of loops after which the averaged pair correlation functions and the DOS are written, ISPIN 2) the volume of the cell (in Ã…^3) and the lattice parameters of the box (in m) 3) T 4) the string 'CAR' 5) the header 6) # of electrons, # of k-points, #of bands 7) the k-point and its weight

NOTE: what about magnetic systems or SOC calculations?
