Arch Linux.

    $ pacman -Ql imagemagick | grep bin
    imagemagick /usr/bin/
    imagemagick /usr/bin/Magick++-config
    imagemagick /usr/bin/MagickCore-config
    imagemagick /usr/bin/MagickWand-config
    imagemagick /usr/bin/animate
    imagemagick /usr/bin/compare
    ....

You may also enjoy:

    $ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/{display,convert}
    /usr/bin/display is owned by imagemagick 7.1.0.16-1
    /usr/bin/convert is owned by imagemagick 7.1.0.16-1

For reference (mostly for me as I need this from time to time), you can do the same on dpkg-based distros with

     $ dpkg -L imagemagick-6.q16 | grep bin
     /usr/bin
     /usr/bin/animate-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/compare-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/composite-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/conjure-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/convert-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/display-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/identify-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/import-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/mogrify-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/montage-im6.q16
     /usr/bin/stream-im6.q16

Similarly, you get

     $ dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/convert-im6.q16 
     imagemagick-6.q16: /usr/bin/convert-im6.q16

This does not work for the canonical executables though as they are just symlinks to /etc/alternatives/foobar

you can use realpath for this

  dpkg -S $(realpath /usr/bin/convert)

and you can ignore the path to it entirely with

  dpkg -S $(realpath $(which convert))
