List all files in a homebrew package
How can I get homebrew to list out all files installed for a package? For example, when I run brew list for the exim package, I get these files:
$ brew list exim
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exiwhat
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exiqsumm
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exiqgrep
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exipick
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exinext
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/eximstats
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_tidydb
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_lock
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_fixdb
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_dumpdb
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_dbmbuild
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_ctl
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim_checkaccess
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim-4.80.1-3
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exim
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exigrep
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/bin/exicyclog
/usr/local/Cellar/exim/4.80.1/share/man/man8/exim.8
But there are files added to the system that is not in the list above. For example:
$ ls -ld /usr/local/etc/exim.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 hanxue admin 35904 Sep 25 21:11 /usr/local/etc/exim.conf
Just add -v or --verbose, for example:
$ brew ls --verbose exim
If the package in question is a cask install (e.g. mactex) then you'll need to include the --cask arg to the list/ls command e.g.
brew ls --cask exim
Note: With casks if you don't include the --cask arg then it often reports an error. And with the --cask arg it may only list the installer dmg as it doesn't seem to track the resulting installed files.

/usr/local/etcand other places are there to stay unless one manually removes them. Homebrew only concerns itself with the program, not the settings or other remnants that the program leaves behind. Here is a section from the MacPorts documentation explaining how they avoid this problem.brew ls -v eximfor short.
