    Description

      Start one of Creator's installer packages with the switch "--help". You'll see output like this:

      Developer:
        --runoperation [OPERATION] [arguments...]   Perform an operation with a
      list of arguments
        --undooperation [OPERATION] [arguments...]  Undo an operation with a list
      of arguments
        --script [scriptName]                       Execute a
      script                        
        --no-force-installations                    Enable deselection of forced
      components 
        --addRepository [URI]                       Add a local or remote repo to
      the list of user defined repos.
        --addTempRepository [URI]                   Add a local or remote repo to
      the list of temporary available
                                                    repos.
      

      Unless you make your terminal wider and start the installer again, the line breaks will make the explanation quite inconvenient to read.

      The output should be optimized for the normal width of a terminal.
