Cannot find installed cask within brews cellar

I am not too familiar with the command line.

I need to find the path where my tex-distribution is installed.

I've used brew to install "mactex-no-gui" (I am running a Mac) via

brew install mactex-no-gui

Now, I try to find this installed cask:

xyzs-MBP local % brew --prefix mactex-no-gui
/opt/homebrew/opt/mactex-no-gui

xyzs-MBP local % ls -halt /opt/homebrew/opt

-rw-r--r--@  1 me  admin     0B 14 Jan 21:47 .keepme

But I can't find it.

P.S.: The installation worked because after the installation I can use tex command within terminal.. But whereis tex does not have any output.

If you look at the cask definition with:

brew edit mactex-no-gui

You will find, in the uninstall section, at the end, the list of directories where files are installed:

/usr/local/texlive/#{version.major}
/Library/TeX
/etc/paths.d/TeX
/etc/manpaths.d/TeX
