[Pw_forum] ATOMIC_POSITIONS after 'final coordinates'

Hi, dear espressors,

I'm new to espresso (switching from CPMD) and I have a simple question
regarding to the output file of a relax calculation.

There is an extra "ATOMIC_POSITIONS" section after the "final
coordinates". It is neither the final coordinates, nor the starting
coordinates, nor cystal coordinates. What's that? See below the output
file. I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me where to find the
explanation to the output file in the manual. I have searched the
maillist and manual online but find no answer.
