Basic

For example, you know the command but not sure about package where it goes from

what package $CMD belongs to

on GNU/Linux

~$ CMD="ls"
~$ rpm -qf $(which "$CMD")       # ReadHad derived
~$ dpkg-query -S $(which "$CMD") # Debian derived

on BSD

~$ CMD="ls"
~$ pkg which $(which "$CMD")

And oposite situation, you want to find out what commands are in the package

get a list of commands belong to a $PACK

on GNU/Linux

~$ PACK="coreutils"
~$ whatis $(rpm -ql "$PACK" | grep -oP "(?<=in/).+")  # with short description
~$ rpm -ql "$PACK" | grep -P "(?<=in/).+"             # path to command
~$ dpkg-query -L "$PACK" | grep -oP "(?<=in/).+"      # Debian dirived
