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_sha224, EVP_sha256, EVP_sha512_224, EVP_sha512_256, EVP_sha384, EVP_sha512 \- SHA-2 For EVP
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& const EVP_MD *EVP_sha224(void); const EVP_MD *EVP_sha256(void); const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512_224(void); const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512_256(void); const EVP_MD *EVP_sha384(void); const EVP_MD *EVP_sha512(void); .Ve
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a family of cryptographic hash functions standardized in NIST FIPS 180-4, first published in 2001.
"EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(), EVP_sha512_224, EVP_sha512_256, EVP_sha384(), EVP_sha512()" 4
Item "EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(), EVP_sha512_224, EVP_sha512_256, EVP_sha384(), EVP_sha512()" The SHA-2 SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-512/224, SHA512/256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 algorithms, which generate 224, 256, 224, 256, 384 and 512 bits respectively of output from a given input. .Sp The two algorithms: SHA-512/224 and SHA512/256 are truncated forms of the SHA-512 algorithm. They are distinct from SHA-224 and SHA-256 even though their outputs are of the same size.
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-SHA2\|(7)instead. See "Performance" in crypto\|(7) for further information.
"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" NIST FIPS 180-4.
