-X509_digest_sig() calculates a digest of the given certificate
-using the same hash algorithm as in its signature with a fallback to B<SHA-256>
-for algorithms where the digest is an integral part of the signature algorithm
-such as with B<EdDSA> signatures.
+X509_digest_sig() calculates a digest of the given certificate I<cert>
+using the same hash algorithm as in its signature, if the digest
+is an integral part of the certificate signature algorithm identifier.
+Otherwise, a fallback hash algorithm is determined as follows:
+SHA512 if the signature alorithm is ED25519,
+SHAKE256 if it is ED448, otherwise SHA256.
+The output parmeters are assigned as follows.
+Unless I<md_used> is NULL, the hash algorithm used is provided
+in I<*md_used> and must be freed by the caller (if it is not NULL).
+Unless I<md_is_fallback> is NULL,
+the I<*md_is_fallback> is set to 1 if the hash algorithm used is a fallback,
+otherwise to 0.
 
 X509_pubkey_digest() returns a digest of the DER representation of the public
