-The SHA-2 SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 algorithms respectively, which
-generates 224, 256, 384 and 512 bits of output from a given input.
+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.
+
+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.

+=head1 NOTES
+
+Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
+calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
+L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_MD-SHA2(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 symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
+implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
