Instance Property

ownsDataDirectory

If true, stop() removes dataDirectory after Tor exits.

var ownsDataDirectory: Bool

Discussion

Swift-tor-only convenience; no corresponding torrc option. Lets callers bind an ephemeral session to a UUID-suffixed temp directory and know that a clean stop() will leave no state on disk — ideal for tests, CLI one-shots, and privacy- sensitive UI sessions.

Defaults to false to preserve backward compatibility with long-lived data directories. ephemeral(cacheDirectory:) sets this to true.

Important

Only dataDirectory is removed; cacheDirectory is preserved so its warm-cache benefit survives across sessions.
