[SOLVED] How to see a PKGBUILD of a package?

Sorry for noob question, I just can't find it through Google. How do I read PKGBUILD of some Arch package? For example "vitrualbox" in repos.

Go to the Arch Package search, find your package, on the right of the package page, under "Package Actions" you'll see "SVN Entries", go there, and it'll have a list of all the files for the package, include the PKGBUILD.

VirtualBox

Alternately, install ABS and download all the PKGBUILDS to your ABS tree locally.

Thanks.
What is PKGBUILD's language? Bash?
