NAME

       strip-nondeterminism - strip nondeterministic information from files

SYNOPSIS

        strip-nondeterminism [-t filetype] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       strip-nondeterminism is a tool to strip bits of nondeterministic information, such as timestamps, from
       files.  It can be used as a post-processing step to make a build reproducible, when the build process
       itself cannot be made deterministic.

OPTIONS

       -t filetype, --type filetype
           Use  the  normalizer  for the given file type (ar, gzip, jar, zip).  If this option is not specified,
           the file type is detected automatically based on the file name extension.

       -T seconds, --timestamp seconds
           Instead of stripping timestamps from files, set them to the given number of seconds since January  1,
           1970.

       --clamp-timestamp
           Only  replace  timestamps if they are later than the time specified to --timestamp.  You can use this
           option to ensure that only timestamps introduced as part of the build process are replaced.  NOT  YET
           IMPLEMENTED FOR ALL FILE FORMATS.

       --normalizers SPEC
           Enable  or  disable  specific normalizers separated by a comma (eg. +foo,-bar.  The magic values +all
           and -all will enable and disable all normalizers.

       -h, --help
           Display this help message.

       -V, --version
           Print only the version string and then quit.
