 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
+Applications should use the higher level functions
+L<EVP_DigestInit(3)|EVP_DigestInit(3)> etc. instead of calling the hash
+functions directly.

 SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a cryptographic hash function with a
 160 bit output.
 
 SHA1() computes the SHA-1 message digest of the B<n>
 bytes at B<d> and places it in B<md> (which must have space for
 SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output). If B<md> is NULL, the digest
-is placed in a static array.

-etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.
+The SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 families of functions operate in the
+same way as for the SHA1 functions. Note that SHA224 and SHA256 use a
+B<SHA256_CTX> object instead of B<SHA_CTX>. SHA384 and SHA512 use B<SHA512_CTX>.
+The buffer B<md> must have space for the output from the SHA variant being used
+(defined by SHA224_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH, SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH and
+SHA512_DIGEST_LENGTH). Also note that, as for the SHA1() function above, the
+SHA224(), SHA256(), SHA384() and SHA512() functions are not thread safe if
+B<md> is NULL.
 
 The predecessor of SHA-1, SHA, is also implemented, but it should be
 used only when backward compatibility is required.
