The output specification in the input file

For each group of available data there is a certain keyword like '$output-bandstructure' for example. Following this keyword, a destination directory is demanded, which has to be present and existent.
The name of the directory has to include a trailing slash ('dir\' for PC and 'dir/' for UNIX).
The following specifications are either flags, which have to be 'yes' or 'no', or numbers for bands and eigenvalues. So far the following output options are implemented:

$output-bandstructure

$output-densities

$output-strain

$output-1-band-schroedinger

$output-kp-data

$output-current-data

$output-raw-data

$output-grid

$output-geometry

$output-material

$total-electron-density

$total-hole-density

$total-space-charge-density

$output-dirichlet

$output-neumann
