META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary source code?

Question

In the update.zip of android update file update-binary executable files is present in the path META-INF/com/google/android/. The update.zip will be downloaded by the system and later update will be installed in the system. I need help in understanding the update-binary file and its uses. Can any body help me out with this as well as the corresponding source code? It will be good if any body share the source code link.
