Dear Quantum ESPRESSO users,

I've been looking at the ways how pw.x can accept data regarding symmetry. I 
usually work with .cif files, where I specify the space group. Pw.x allows to 
specify the space group as well, however I would like to understand how the 
"ibrav" specifier works. Do I understand it correctly that if, for example, I 
set "ibrav = 2" (corresponds to FCC), then pw.x will take into account 
additional atoms simply acknowledging that the FCC cell contains 4 lattice 
points? In other words, does it behave the same as if the space group was "F 1"?

Thank you for any answers/recommendations

Best regards, F.Fňukal
