package +MANIFEST file - look inside

Is there a command, or short script that enables the +MANIFEST to be examined.  There are cases where we want to review what the scripts section of the +MANIFEST contains.  In particular the post-install script.

What we're trying to achieve is something like
pkg view scripts post-install -f $OUTPUT
so we can modify or run it at a better time, like first boot.

As a follow-on from this, we would like to use the "files" list to set the MAC mls/ settings as a post-install task, so getting the first, filename element (of filename:signature,) from the "files" list is important.
Thank-you.
