+brew-cask(1) - a friendly binary installer for macOS
+========================================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`brew cask` command [options] [ <token> ... ]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+Homebrew-Cask is a tool for installing precompiled macOS binaries (such as
+Applications) from the command line. The user is never required to use the
+graphical user interface.
+
+## ALPHA-QUALITY SOFTWARE
+
+Homebrew-Cask works robustly enough that we welcome new users, but the
+project is still in early development. That means command names, option
+names, and other aspects of this manual are still subject to change.
+
+## FREQUENTLY USED COMMANDS
+
+ * `install [--force] [--skip-cask-deps] [--require-sha]` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Install Cask identified by <token>.
+
+ * `uninstall [--force]` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Uninstall Cask identified by <token>.
+
+ * `search` <text> | /<regexp>/:
+ Perform a substring search of known Cask tokens for <text>. If the text
+ is delimited by slashes, it is interpreted as a Ruby regular expression.
+
+ The tokens returned by `search` are suitable as arguments for most other
+ commands, such as `install` or `uninstall`.
+
+## COMMANDS
+
+ * `audit` [ <token> ... ]:
+ Check the given Casks for installability.
+ If no tokens are given on the command line, all Casks are audited.
+
+ * `cat` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Dump the given Cask definition file to the standard output.
+
+ * `cleanup` [--outdated]:
+ Clean up cached downloads and tracker symlinks. With `--outdated`,
+ only clean up cached downloads older than 10 days old.
+
+ * `create` <token>:
+ Generate a Cask definition file for the Cask identified by <token>
+ and open a template for it in your favorite editor.
+
+ * `doctor` or `dr`:
+ Check for configuration issues. Can be useful to upload as a gist for
+ developers along with a bug report.
+
+ * `edit` <token>:
+ Open the given Cask definition file for editing.
+
+ * `fetch` [--force] <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Download remote application files for the given Cask to the local
+ cache. With `--force`, force re-download even if the files are already
+ cached.
+
+ * `home` or `homepage` [ <token> ... ]:
+ Display the homepage associated with a given Cask in a browser.
+
+ With no arguments, display the project page <http://caskroom.io>.
+
+ * `info` or `abv` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Display information about the given Cask.
+
+ * `install [--force] [--skip-cask-deps] [--require-sha]` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Install the given Cask. With `--force`, re-install even if the Cask
+ appears to be already present. With `--skip-cask-deps`, skip any Cask
+ dependencies. `--require-sha` will abort installation if the Cask does not
+ have a checksum defined.
+
+ <token> is usually the ID of a Cask as returned by `brew cask search`,
+ but see [OTHER WAYS TO SPECIFY A CASK][] for variations.
+
+ * `list` or `ls` [-1 | -l] [ <token> ... ]:
+ Without any arguments, list all installed Casks. With `-1`, always
+ format the output in a single column. With `-l`, give a more detailed
+ listing.
+
+ If <token> is given, summarize the staged files associated with the
+ given Cask.
+
+ * `search` or `-S`:
+ Display all Casks available for install.
+
+ * `search` or `-S` <text> | /<regexp>/:
+ Perform a substring search of known Cask tokens for <text>. If the text
+ is delimited by slashes, it is interpreted as a Ruby regular expression.
+
+ * `style` [--fix] [ <token> ... ]:
+ Check the given Casks for correct style using [RuboCop Cask](https://github.com/caskroom/rubocop-cask).
+ If no tokens are given on the command line, all Casks are checked.
+ With `--fix`, auto-correct any style errors if possible.
+
+ * `uninstall [--force]` or `rm` or `remove` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Uninstall the given Cask. With `--force`, uninstall even if the Cask
+ does not appear to be present.
+
+ Note that `uninstall --force` is currently imperfect. It will follow
+ the `uninstall` instructions from *newest* Cask definition, even if
+ the given Cask has changed since you installed it. The result is that
+ `uninstall --force` will always succeed in removing relevant files
+ under `<Caskroom_path>`, but will sometimes fail to remove relevant
+ installed files outside of it. This issue is being
+ addressed.
+
+ `uninstall` without `--force` is also imperfect. It may be unable to
+ perform an `uninstall` operation if the given Cask has changed since you
+ installed it. This issue is being addressed.
+
+ * `update`:
+ For convenience. `brew cask update` is a synonym for `brew update`.
+
+ * `zap` <token> [ <token> ... ]:
+ Unconditionally remove _all_ files associated with the given Cask.
+
+ Implicitly performs all actions associated with `uninstall`, even if
+ the Cask does not appear to be currently installed.
+
+ Removes all staged versions of the Cask distribution found under
+ `<Caskroom_path>/<token>`.
+
+ If the Cask definition contains a `zap` stanza, performs additional
+ `zap` actions as defined there, such as removing local preference
+ files. `zap` actions are variable, depending on the level of detail
+ defined by the Cask author.
+
+ **`zap` may remove files which are shared between applications.**
+

+in a future version.

+ is detected.

+
+## INTERACTION WITH HOMEBREW
+
+Homebrew-Cask is implemented as a external command for Homebrew. That means
+this project is entirely built upon the Homebrew infrastructure. For
+example, upgrades to the Homebrew-Cask tool are received through Homebrew:
+
+ brew update; brew cleanup; brew cask cleanup
+
+And updates to individual Cask definitions are received whenever you issue
+the Homebrew command:
+
+ brew update
+
+## OTHER WAYS TO SPECIFY A CASK
+
+Most Homebrew-Cask commands can accept a Cask token as an argument. As
+described above, the argument can take the form of:
+
+ * A token as returned by `brew cask search`, _eg_ `google-chrome`
+
+Homebrew-Cask also accepts three other forms in place of plain tokens:
+
+ * A fully-qualified token which includes the Tap name, _eg_
+ `caskroom/fonts/font-symbola`
+
+ * A fully-qualified pathname to a Cask file, _eg_
+ `/usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks/google-chrome.rb`
+
+ * A `curl`-retrievable URI to a Cask file, _eg_
+ `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/f25b6babcd398abf48e33af3d887b2d00de1d661/Casks/google-chrome.rb`
+
+## ENVIRONMENT
+
+Homebrew-Cask respects many of the environment variables used by the
+parent command `brew`. Please refer to the `brew`(1) man page for more
+information.
+
+Environment variables specific to Homebrew-Cask:
+
+ * HOMEBREW\_CASK\_OPTS:
+ This variable may contain any arguments normally used as options on
+ the command-line. This is particularly useful to make options persistent.
+ For example, you might add to your .bash_profile or .zshenv something like:
+ `export HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS='--appdir=/Applications --caskroom=/etc/Caskroom'`.
