What does information contain WAVECAR in VASP ? When we should read WAVECAR ( ISTART=1) ?

What is the difference between reading WAVECAR and without reading WAVECAR calculation ? After optimizing structure in VASP we copy CONTCAR to POSCAR and for reading WAVECAR ISTART=1 . So I want to know when we should read WAVECAR i.e, ISTART=1 and when does not i.e. ISTART=0 in calculation?
