I'm not entirely sure which part you are referring to, but I agree that the
current wording isn't very good.
"The second field contains the page checksum if -k are enabled."
I propose the attached patch which changes the sentence to "The second field
contains the page checksum if data checksums are enabled." with a link to the
Checksums chapter in the documentation instead.
