If I remove the --ignore-missing option no \r characters appear in the output, so the checksum file uses Unix line endings. If I convert the checksum file to DOS line endings with unix2dos I can see \r line endings in the output. There is another difference by using --ignore-missing: when using DOS line endings sha1sum immediately says "no file was verified", without checking anything; when using Unix line endings it says the same thing but after a few seconds, so it must have checked something behind the scenes. -- https://www.fturco.net/
