// typedef unsigned int u_int32_t;
// typedef unsigned char u_int8_t;

-The nssha1 module provides the ns_sha1 function, which returns a 40-character, hex-encoded string containing the SHA1 hash of the first argument.
+The nssha1 module provides the [[ns_sha1]] function.
-Example 1:
-<pre>
-set sRawPassword "mypassword"
-set sPassword [ns_sha1 $sRawPassword]
-ns_adp_puts $sPassword
-# 04003622EB9D0F788CE7568C7EED23809534365A
-</pre>
-Usually this function is used with a salt, as without a salt it is succeptible to dictionary-based attacks.
-Example 2:
-<pre>
-set sSalt "salty"
-set sRawPassword "mypassword"
-set sPassword [ns_sha1 ${sRawPassword}${sSalt}]
-# B48FB74597C11FC609DBE912992085EB07847FB6
