by default, sha256sum and sha512sum will look for any file mentioned in the CHECKSUM file, which is all of them: $ wc -l < CHECKSUM.SHA512-FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64 10 with the current command, this will lead to 9 failures and 1 OK. the fact that you specify the filename to be checked does not seem to mean that is the *only* file that is checked. for this reason, I suggest that the filename to be checked is removed, and replaced with the flag --ignore-missing which is present in both commands on both BSD and Linux. this flag means that all files mentioned will be checked, just like before, but output will only be returned for successful checks. example: $ sha512sum -c CHECKSUM.SHA512-FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64 --ignore-missing FreeBSD-14.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img: OK this assumes that the img file is in the same directory, but this was already assumed in the previous version.
