State changes via pkg's scripts

Is there a more convenient method to examine a package's scripts than
unpacking the manifest file and
# cat +MANIFEST | jq -rM '.scripts'
?  As I'd like to know what changes will, or have been applied.

For example to review the dependencies of a file
# pkg info -d -F  /packages/K8/All/samba410-4.10.15.txz provides an
indication of what is going to be installed.

I'd searched the man pages of pkg-info and pkg-query.

Cheers, Dewayne.
