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.
