      \h|DESCRIPTION|
 
      The \cb{cfg-create} command creates a new \cb{bpkg} configuration with
-     the specified \cb{build2} modules and configuration variables. Unless
-     the \cb{--wipe} option is specified, \cb{cfg-create} expects the
+     the specified \cb{build2} modules and configuration variables. The
+     \cb{bpkg} configuration itself is a build system configuration; see the
+     \cb{build2} \cb{create} meta-operation for details.
+
+     Unless the \cb{--wipe} option is specified, \cb{cfg-create} expects the
      configuration directory to be empty or to not exist (in which case it
      will be created).
