Current doc page cpack(7), section "Description", paragraph 2, sentence 2: "A generator is responsible for generating the required inputs ..."

This needs clarification. A software reads input and generates output. If we say that a generator generates input, then we need to explain further.

Could we please expand the sentence into something like: "A generator is (a process launched by cpack(1) | a subroutine within cpack(1) | ... ?). It (reads ... | is called with arguments ... | ... ?), and writes (a list to file | ... ?). This ... is required as input by the downstream software ..."

From the alternatives (... | ...) you see how little I understand from the current documentation.
