 Wondering, why I get json cli output per default since last update and
 wondering, why there is no man page in MacPorts' mas port, I've taken a
 look into the upstream sources and the prebuild pkg installer provided by
 the vendor, and I've stumbled over 2 issues:

 1) in contrast to the upstream sources and vendor package installer, the
 MacPorts' mas port lacks a man page (seems to be/would be auto-generated
 via script through the build/packaging process, if the command would be
 implemented, that calls the appropriate script)

 The man page seems to be/is auto-generated via shell script which resides
 in Scripts/generate_manual.

 2) a shell script wrapper for the mas binary, which calls the mas binary
 itself and pipes the output through system's jq (/usr/bin/jq) to filter
 and sort json output; the wrapper is also called mas and resides in
 libexec.

 For comparing, see also Homebrew's formula for mas
 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-
 core/blob/5349c53e03ec7da2974ed7f2ee852e580d6a5115/Formula/m/mas.rb where
 both are provided.

 Please investigate and enhance MacPorts' mas port file accordingly.
