STRIP-NONDETERMINISM(1p)

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.
