Description (for VASP.5.2.12 and higher): This tag determines whether the total local potential (saved in the file {{TAG|LOCPOT}}) contains the entire local potential (ionic + Hartree + exchange correlation) or the electrostatic contributions only (ionic +  Hartree, {{TAG|LVHAR}}=.TRUE.). If {{TAG|LVHAR}}=.TRUE. the file {{TAG|LOCPOT}} is written and it contains only

The local potential is written to the LOCPOT file and hence to the same file as the local potential for LVTOT=T. Carefully check that the LOCPOT file contains the potential you expect. WRT_POTENTIAL also gives access to the ionic and Hartree potentials and offers more options.

Warning: Setting LVHAR=True will set LVTOT=False.
