What does this default applets do?

Question

This is output of gp tool, when I tell it to list installed applets :

gp >> gp -l
AID: A000000151000000 (|....Q...|)
     ISD OP_READY: Security Domain, Card lock, Card terminate, Default selected,
 CVM (PIN) management

AID: A0000001515350 (|....QSP|)
     ExM LOADED: (none)
     A000000151535041 (|....QSPA|)

gp >>

Q1: Which one of this AIDs are for an applet, and which one is for a Package? How I can recognize?

Q2: How I can find out what APDU-commands this applets support? I searched for the AIDs here(a Complete list of AIDs), but found nothing!

Q3: Can we have 2 applets inside a single Package? I mean, when I write a Hello World applet and upload it to my card, an Applet AID and a Package AID adds to the gp -l outputs. Is there any .cap file that add for example 3 applet AID and just 1 Package AID to the card?

A000000151000000 is the card manager applet. Have a look at global platform specification for its interface... — vojta, Jan 28 '15 at 11:06
There can be more than one security domain on your card. A0...1515350 is probably a security domain, too. — vojta, Jan 28 '15 at 11:14
@vojta How can I be sure that it is a security domain or s.th. else? And where can I find the list of commands that it is working with? — TheGoodUser, Jan 28 '15 at 11:18
Look for card specification section: http://www.globalplatform.org/specificationscard.asp — David, Jan 29 '15 at 07:00

ExM means "Executable module" which means "package".
N/A
Yes. Have a look here for example: https://github.com/martinpaljak/AppletPlayground/blob/master/build.xml#L53

You really have to go and read some documentation before asking. This is a programming forum.

Thank you dear Martin. What do you mean by `N/A` in second question's answer? Do you mean Not Available? If so, why? – TheGoodUser Jan 31 '15 at 04:56
And also, what is the _.xml_ file that you put its link here? How can I work with it? – TheGoodUser Jan 31 '15 at 04:57
