In the report you should find both units. Anyway you can convert from a unit to other using the ypp -k k utility.

Dear Daniele,
Thanks
but I read the page "http://www.yambo-code.org/input_file/ypp/ypp_kk.php" about ypp -k k
and I want to convert the k point 0.5 0 0 in rlu to iku
so the ypp.in is:
bzgrids # [R] BZ Grid
K_grid # [R] K-grid analysis
cooIn= "rlu" # Points coordinates (in) cc/rlu/iku/alat
cooOut= "iku" # Points coordinates (out) cc/rlu/iku/alat
% GWKpts
0.50 | 0.00 | 0.00 | # GW K-point grid
then I run ypp and it lists 30 k points which are in r_setup!!!
Would you please help me with this problem?

You have to close the kpt namelist in your input.
In output you will have the list in the out unit you asked. Note that iku and rlu can be the same. You can also ask for cc and convert by yourself, should be not a difficult task.
