The contents of packages are stored in /var/log/package, in files
named after the package name, version, arch, tag... on my system
I have /var/log/packages/mupdf-1.24.9-x86_64-1_SBo

This is just a text file, with the description and list of files in
the packages. So I can read it in 'less', and see what files are in
the package (including the contents of /bin/ or /usr/bin/), or I can
find out what commands are in it, by doing this:

$ grep bin/. /var/log/packages/mupdf-1.24.9-x86_64-1_SBo 
usr/bin/mupdf-gl
usr/bin/mupdf-x11
usr/bin/mupdf-x11-curl
usr/bin/muraster
usr/bin/mutool

(The paths in the package file are stored without the leading /, so
/usr/bin becomes usr/bin)

Note the mupdf command itself doesn't show up there. That's because
it's actually a symlink:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/mupdf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 25 16:06 /usr/bin/mupdf -> mupdf-x11*

These are basic things that you should learn to do. The information is
all there on your system, you just have to go look at it.
