Doesn't "manage" somewhat include "verify? I don't find "trigger"

It would like to keep "data checksums" in the output, and by using the
suggestion of Peter upthread (aka only "manages"), the output gets
down:
$ pg_checksums --help | head -n1
pg_checksums manages data checksums in a PostgreSQL database cluster.
$ pg_checksums --help | head -n1 | wc -c
