There are entries in the port(1) man page and the Guide about mpkg. General info about Installer packages is available on the web, e.g.: <https://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution4/Managed_Installs/Managed_Installs.html%23//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40004615-CH6-SW9> <http://s.sudre.free.fr/Stuff/Ivanhoe/FLAT.html> The add_users option is documented in the portfile(7) man page.
