Startup files and program options can override the effect of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

Be aware that by default xorriso puts its version information into the
Preparer Id field of the ISO 9660 Primary Volume Descriptor. This may be
desired in order to clearly define which xorriso version has to be used for
reproduction. But it may also be undesired because a wider range of xorriso
versions shall not be excluded from an attempt of reproduction.

Use option \-p with a text other than "@xorriso@" if you want to
override the default at first production time. This option may also be used
to explicitly set the preparer id as found in an ISO 9660 filesystem which
shall be reproduced by a different version of xorriso. The id can be inquired
by the generic xorriso command \-pvd_info.
