.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_strip_nondeterminism\fR is a debhelper program that is responsible
for stripping uninteresting, nondeterministic information, such as
timestamps, from compiled files so that the build is reproducible.
.PP
This program examines your package build directories and works out what
to strip on its own. It uses \fBfile\fR\|(1) and filenames to figure out what
files should have nondeterminism stripped from them.  In general it
seems to make very good guesses, and will do the right thing in almost
all cases.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-X\fR\fIitem\fR, \fB\-\-exclude=\fR\fIitem\fR" 4
.IX Item "-Xitem, --exclude=item"
Exclude files that contain \fIitem\fR anywhere in their filename from being
stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of
things to exclude.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
