Description:
------------
The documentation incorrectly describes sha1_file() as generating a sha1 
of a file instead of the filename.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.sha1-file#Description
---

sha1_file

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

sha1_file ? Calculate the sha1 hash of a file

---

The above description is incorrect, yet the description itself correctly describes this function: 

"Calculates the sha1 hash of filename using the ? US Secure Hash Algorithm 1, and returns that hash."

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
