I believe the kpoints.x output coordinates are cartesian not crystal. The 5th column shows the multiplicity of that k-point which is in the wedge. It tells you how many points in the full BZ are equivalent to this wedge point. So
1 -0.1250000 0.1250000 0.1250000 2.00 Means that this point in the wedge has another equivalent point in the BZ and that is 64 -0.8750000 0.8750000 0.8750000 0.00 1 The 1 in the last column means that point 64 is equivalent to point 1. Here the 5th column is zero suggesting that this point is not in the wedge.

Also, I guess there is a problem in the generated output file from kpoints.x. Because, there are entries whose absolute values are more than one, viz., -1.1250000, -1.375000. I can not bi;eave the values generated by kpoints.x. plz help. Also, the output file I got from kpoints.x, there are two more columns except for coordinate points. What is the meaning of them? Can I copy paste the whole file for in 'scf' calculation or need to do some modification? plz help. got stuck without the answers..
