You just look up the relative (fractional) coordinates of the
high-symmetry K-points which should be part of your band structure,
specify those coordinates in the DFTB+ input and specify, how many
intermediate points should be used between those k-points. (See KLines
keyword in the manual). In VASP, you do practically the same, the format
is only slightly different.

  Best regards,

  Bálint
