Section 8 says:

In the introductory text in Section 8, function prototype arguments
are inconsistently presented; all should be presented in ANSI-C style
consistently.
Also, the indentation of two lines breaks the otherwise consistent
layout.

On mid-page 16, the lines,

   Functions:
|                 int SHA$$$Reset(SHA$$$Context *);
            Reset the hash context state
|     int SHA$$$Input(SHA$$$Context *, const uint8_t *octets,
                  unsigned int bytecount);
            Incorporate bytecount octets into the hash.

should read:

   Functions:
|     int SHA$$$Reset(SHA$$$Context *context);
            Reset the hash context state
|     int SHA$$$Input(SHA$$$Context *context, const uint8_t *octets,
                  unsigned int bytecount);
            Incorporate bytecount octets into the hash.

and on page 17, the lines,

   Functions:
|     int USHAReset(USHAContext *, SHAversion whichSha);
            Reset the hash context state.
|     int USHAInput(USHAContext *,
                  const uint8_t *bytes, unsigned int bytecount);
            Incorporate bytecount octets into the hash.
|     int USHAFinalBits(USHAContext *,
                  const uint8_t bits, unsigned int bitcount);
|                 Incorporate bitcount bits into the hash.

should read:

   Functions:
|     int USHAReset(USHAContext *context, SHAversion whichSha);
            Reset the hash context state.
|     int USHAInput(USHAContext *context,
                  const uint8_t *bytes, unsigned int bytecount);
            Incorporate bytecount octets into the hash.
|     int USHAFinalBits(USHAContext *context,
                  const uint8_t bits, unsigned int bitcount);
|           Incorporate bitcount bits into the hash.

Notes:

inconsistent prototypes, unpleasant/inconsistent indentation
