Earlier today, it took me five manuals! to find what on earth the "Performance"/"EVP_MD_fetch(3)" crosslinks actually mean: EVP_sha1(3) crypto(7) EVP_MD_fetch(3) (but not there! don't read that!) OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7) EVP_MD-SHA1(7) If, instead, EVP_sha1(3) referenced EVP_MD-SHA1(7) at /all/, which it should do, since it's supposed to be what you're replacing it with, but it doesn't actually say that, maybe people would use it. I know I didn't because it's basically just deadass buried As found by git grep -l 'and should consider using' Reviewed-by: Tomas Mraz <tomas@openssl.org> Reviewed-by: Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/22420)

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
EVP_sha1
|
|
- SHA-1 For EVP
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
const EVP_MD *EVP_sha1(void);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function standardized
|
|
in NIST FIPS 180-4. The algorithm was designed by the United States National
|
|
Security Agency and initially published in 1995.

=item EVP_sha1()
|
|
|
|

=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
|
|
calling this function multiple times and should consider using
|
|
L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_MD-SHA1(7)> instead.
|
|
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
|
|
implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
|
|
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
