I was reading about packages, and I wondered what are package names for commands like "ls" and "echo"? These commands were installed on every Linux machine I've worked with, and I don't know which package installs them.

$ sudo apt purge ls
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Unable to locate package ls

$ sudo apt purge echo
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Unable to locate package echo

And the same thing happened for lots of other commands.

Q1. Is there any package which has all these primary commands in?

Q2. Do "ls" or "echo" or ... have a package? or they are just some commands?

Q3. How can I find the package name of commands like "ls", "echo", "read" and so other?
