zap Stanza Purpose

The zap stanza describes a more complete uninstallation of files associated with a Cask. The zap procedures will never be performed by default, but only if the user invokes the zap verb:

$ brew cask zap td-toolbelt             # also removes org.ruby-lang.installer

zap stanzas may remove:

• Preference files and caches stored within the user’s ~/Library directory.
• Shared resources such as application updaters. Since shared resources may be removed, other applications may be affected by brew cask zap. Understanding that is the responsibility of the end user.

zap stanzas should not remove:

• Files created by the user directly.

zap Stanza Syntax

The form of zap stanza follows the uninstall stanza. All of the same directives are available. The trash: key is preferred over delete:.

Example: dropbox.rb
