sm01@stt008:~$ locate update-alternatives
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives
(...)

sm01@stt008:~$ file /usr/sbin/update-alternatives
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives: a /usr/bin/perl -- script text executable

sm01@stt008:~$ cat /usr/sbin/update-alternatives 
(...)

Or more specifically:

sm01@stt008:~$ file /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives 
/usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives: Bourne-Again shell script text executable

sm01@stt008:~$ cat /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives
(...)
