Nothing of interest for the general user, actually, but very useful for debugging. They are the indices that define what functional is actually used.

The revised PBE that should (perhaps) be used with vdW-DF is for exchange only. The vdW-DF functional is strictly a correlation functional. So what you really want is SLA (local exchange piece) PW (local correlation piece) RPB (semi-local exchange piece) and VDW (non-local correlation piece). If
