• The SHA1INIT built-in function returns a token (of type POINTER) that can be used with the corresponding SHA1UPDATE and SHA1FINAL functions to hash a series of texts.
• The SHA1UPDATE built-in function uses a token initialized by the corresponding SHA1INIT function to perform an intermediate hash of an element in a series of texts.

New built-in function category
