reading WAVECAR when number of k-points has changed

after examining the INWAV_FAST subroutine, it appears that the following happens if the number of k-points stored in the WAVECAR file (I'll call this number NW) is different from the number of k-points contained in the KPOINTS file (I'll call this number NK):

* if NK > NW, the first NW of the NK k-points are read from the WAVECAR file. The last k-point in the WAVECAR file is used for the remaining NK-NW k-points

* if NK < NW, the first NK of the NW k-points are read in. the remaining NW-NK k-points in the WAVECAR file are not used

Is my understanding correct? Thanks.
