Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
NAME
EVP_blake2b512, EVP_blake2s256 \- BLAKE2 For EVP
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2b512(void); const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2s256(void); .Ve
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" BLAKE2 is an improved version of BLAKE, which was submitted to the NIST SHA-3 algorithm competition. The BLAKE2s and BLAKE2b algorithms are described in RFC 7693.
EVP_blake2s256() 4
Item "EVP_blake2s256()" The BLAKE2s algorithm that produces a 256-bit output from a given input.
EVP_blake2b512() 4
Item "EVP_blake2b512()" The BLAKE2b algorithm that produces a 512-bit output from a given input.
NOTES
Header "NOTES" Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of calling these functions multiple times and should consider using \fBEVP_MD_fetch\|(3) with EVP_MD-BLAKE2\|(7) instead. See "Performance" in crypto\|(7) for further information.

While the BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s algorithms supports a variable length digest, this implementation outputs a digest of a fixed length (the maximum length supported), which is 512-bits for BLAKE2b and 256-bits for BLAKE2s.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new\|(3) for details of the EVP_MD structure.
"CONFORMING TO"
Header "CONFORMING TO" RFC 7693.
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBevp\|(7), \fBEVP_DigestInit\|(3)
