terminal command

Is there a way to tell the command to run a program by looking at something in the files? For instance, Firefox in a terminal launches firefox. That one is easy to figure out and you could get it if you didn't already know just by taking a wild guess. Some programs don't seem to be so straightforward. So, is there a way I can tell by looking at the pakage or a particular file that tells me what the command line to launch it is?
