### 1. Introduction.

Many quantities are computed, but not reported in the main ABINIT output file.
On demand, they can be printed thanks to the following prt⟨suffix⟩ input variables. Usually, a corresponding file suffixed with _⟨suffix⟩ will be printed. In other cases, the main output will be modified to contain the data.
