+Rules for creating install scripts from pkg_filegroups and friends.
+
+This module provides an interface (`pkg_install`) for creating a `bazel
+run`-able installation script.

+
+pkg_install(<a href="#pkg_install-name">name</a>, <a href="#pkg_install-srcs">srcs</a>, <a href="#pkg_install-destdir">destdir</a>, <a href="#pkg_install-destdir_flag">destdir_flag</a>, <a href="#pkg_install-kwargs">**kwargs</a>)
+</pre>
+
+Create an installer script from pkg_filegroups and friends.
+
+This macro allows users to create `bazel run`nable installation scripts
+using the pkg_filegroup framework.
+
+For example:
+
+```python
+pkg_install(
+    name = "install",
+    srcs = [
+        # mapping/grouping targets here
+    ],
+    destdir = "out/install",
+)
+```
+
+Installation can be done by invoking:
+
+```
+bazel run -- //path/to:install
+```
+
+Additional features can be accessed by invoking the script with the --help
+option:
+
+```
+bazel run -- //path/to:install --help
+```
+
+WARNING: While this rule does function when being run from within a bazel
+rule, such use is not recommended.  If you do, **always** use the
+`--destdir` argument to specify the desired location for the installation to
+occur.  Not doing so can lead the outputs going to an unexpected location,
+or in some cases, failing.  Run the script command with `--help`, as
+mentioned above, for more details.
+
+One such use would be to run the script created by `pkg_install` to produce
+a directory output in the build root.  This may not function as expected or
+may suffer from poorly tested edge cases.  A purpose-written rule that would
+allow for creation of such directories is discussed in
+https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_pkg/issues/388.
+
+

+| <a id="pkg_install-destdir"></a>destdir |  The default destination directory.<br><br>If it is specified, this is the default destination to install the files. It is overridable by explicitly specifying `--destdir` in the command line or specifying the `DESTDIR` environment variable.<br><br>If it is not specified, `--destdir` must be set on the command line, or the `DESTDIR` environment variable must be set.<br><br>If this is an absolute path, it is used as-is. If this is a relative path, it is interpreted against `BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY`.   |  `None` |
+| <a id="pkg_install-destdir_flag"></a>destdir_flag |  A string_flag target used to obtain the value of destdir.   |  `None` |
+| <a id="pkg_install-kwargs"></a>kwargs |  common rule attributes   |  none |
