prefix.dvscf_star%ext.q_name//"1". Where q_name is derived from the coordinates
of the q-point, expressed as fractions in crystalline coordinates
(notice that ph.x reads q-points in cartesian coordinates).
E.g. q_cryst= (0, 0.5, -0.25) -&gt; q_name = "0_1o2_-1o4"

The dvscf can be represented on a basis of cartesian 1-atom displacements
(dvscf_star%basis='cartesian') or on the basis of the modes at the rotated q-point
(dvscf_star%basis='modes'). Notice that the el-ph wannier code requires 'cartesian'.
Each dvscf file comes with a corresponding pattern file with an additional ".pat"
suffix; this file contains information about the basis and the q-point of the dvscf.

Note: rotating dvscf can require a large amount of RAM memory and can be i/o
      intensive; in its current implementation all the operations are done
      on a single processor.
