When you use the checksum command it prints the following:
This SHA256 sum is a condensed checksum of the all the data inside the image
It does not encode information about the filesystem structure outside of the data being in the correct order.
Note that this is NOT a SHA256 sum of the full image, and cannot be compared to a SHA256 sum of the full image.
This checksum is only useful when compared to other checksums created by this tool.
I understand the point of having this, however it massively bloats the output when piped to a file. Could there please be a way to turn this off? Maybe only print it when it is being printed to an interactive console?
Thank you for adding this feature, it's very handy.
