[openssl.org #1978] documentation bug report

[Stephen Henson via RT]

Hello,

I was looking on the website for an address to send feedback and bug
reports. Please let me know if this is not the right one.

I think there is a mistake in the documentation for the HMAC() function:

https://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/hmac.html

It says

"key and evp_md may be NULL if a key and hash function have been set in
a previous call to HMAC_Init() for that HMAC_CTX"

It's not clear which HMAC_CTX is being referred to since HMAC() does not
have a parameter of that type, and the HMAC_CTX variable that it does
use is declared as a local variable.

If I am missing something, I would appreciate if you could set me straight.

Thanks for your time,
Kent Lundgren
