+### Constructors
+
+```
+sha1_160();
+```
+
+Default constructor.
+
+Effects: ::
+  Initializes the internal state of the SHA-1 algorithm to its initial values.
+
+```
+explicit sha1_160( std::uint64_t seed );
+```
+
+Constructor taking an integral seed value.
+
+Effects: ::
+  Initializes the state as if by default construction, then if `seed` is not zero, performs `update(p, 8); result();` where `p` points to a little-endian representation of the value of `seed`.
+
+Remarks: ::
+  By convention, if `seed` is zero, the effect of this constructor is the same as default construction.
+
+```
+sha1_160( unsigned char const* p, std::size_t n );
+```
+
+Constructor taking a byte sequence seed.
+
+Effects: ::
+  Initializes the state as if by default construction, then if `n` is not zero, performs `update(p, n); result()`.
+
+Remarks: ::
+  By convention, if `n` is zero, the effect of this constructor is the same as default construction.
+
+### update
+
+```
+void update( void const * p, std::size_t n );
+```
+
+Effects: ::
+  Updates the internal state of the SHA-1 algorithm from the byte sequence `[p, p+n)`.
+
+Remarks: ::
+  Consecutive calls to `update` are equivalent to a single call with the concatenated byte sequences of the individual calls.
+
+### result
+
+```
+result_type result();
+```
+
+Effects: ::
+  Pads the accumulated message and finalizes the SHA-1 digest.
+
+Returns: ::
+  The SHA-1 digest of the message formed from the byte sequences of the preceding calls to `update`.
+
+Remarks: ::
+  Repeated calls to `result()` return a pseudorandom sequence of `result_type` values, effectively extending the output.
