QE writes to, or reads from, a directory $prefix.save into directory
$outdir. Depending upon options and code version, it may also read or write
some $prefix* files into $outdir. If your postprocessing code has different
$outdir or $prefix from those of the scf codeproducing the data , you
should copy or rename all the needed files accordingly
