[SOLVED]How do I know the commands that a package provides?

It's a thing that has confused me quite for a while.
Right now I found that Linux does not mount audio CDs. Then following some suggestions, I did '$ pacman -S rubyripper'. Then I was typing at the command line 'rubyripper' and found it not the command for it. So I googled a bit and found at some corner of the forum that the command should be 'rrip_cli'. But how come, shouldn't I get right in the first place when the package is installed? '$ man rubyripper' -- no manpage ; '$ pacman -Qi' -- also doesn't mention a thing about the actual command.

So here's the newbie question:
How do I know the actual commands that a package provides?

@Allan
By the way, do you know a way to 'mount' an audio CDs? I mean, make it automatically appear in pcmanfm (or manually, that's fine), then you can open it in folders and you see individual files, just like a normal data CD? Thanks in advance.:-)

pacman -Ql <package> | grep bin

To limit the output to the executable parts fo a package.*

* Works in 99.9% of cases unless the package puts executables in a strange location :s

Audio CD's cant be "mounted". However you can use a FUSE based FS filesystem to make them 'appear' mounted.

A quick search on the AUR gives me this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25990 but there may be more.

Cool

This thread has some nifty ways to find the executable.
