# TripMode ships no command-line tool, so `detect` is the bundle identifier.

# The Homebrew cask signals ch.tripmode.TripMode

# (`uninstall signal: ["TERM", "ch.tripmode.TripMode"]`); the Setapp build is a

# second identifier, read from the copy installed on this Mac —

# /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier'

# "/Applications/Setapp/TripMode.app/Contents/Info.plist" answers

# ch.tripmode.TripMode-setapp.

# From the Homebrew cask `tripmode`, whose `zap trash:` names the two things

# TripMode keeps under the user's home directory:

# ~/Library/Preferences/ch.tripmode.TripMode.plist and

# ~/Library/Application Support/Tripmode (spelled with a lower-case m, unlike

# the app). The per-app allow and block rules and the per-network profiles that

# TripMode's homepage describes — "TripMode lists all the apps that are

# requesting internet access and blocks them by default. You can choose which

# apps get internet access" — are the settings worth carrying.

# The rest of what the cask zaps is outside the home directory or is state:

# /Library/Application Support/Tripmode and

# /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/ch.tripmode.TripMode.HelperTool belong to the

# privileged helper, and ~/Library/Caches/ch.tripmode.TripMode is cache.

# No machine_lines: these are property lists, which neither prefix nor key_path

# matching can read. The machine-local part of them is the list of networks

# TripMode has seen (SSIDs and interface identifiers) — a consumer that can

# read plists should decide about those itself; the per-app rules beside them

# are the reason to carry the file.
