NAME¶

strip-nondeterminism - strip non-deterministic information from files

SYNOPSIS¶

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

DESCRIPTION¶

strip-nondeterminism is a tool to strip bits of non-deterministic 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.

-h, --help

Display this help message.

-V, --version

Print only the version string and then quit.
