One presentation of the formula is here:
http://aflowlib.org/prototype-encyclopedia/triclinic_lattice.html
The final line of a (formatted) coordinate file gives a,b,c,alpha,beta,gamma.
For a truncated octahedron, there is a single cell length and an single
angle, so you could simplify the formula some.
If you are doing constant pressure simulations (so that the unit cell volume
is changing), the volume is printed out along with the energies in the mdout
file.
