-# `filesha1` Function
+# filesha1 function reference
+This topic provides reference information about the `filesha1` function, which calculates the SHA-1 hash of a file's contents. 
 
-`filesha1` is a variant of [`sha1`](/terraform/language/functions/sha1)
-that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string.
+## Introduction
 
-This is similar to `sha1(file(filename))`, but
+The `filesha1` is a variant of [`sha1`](/terraform/language/functions/sha1) that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string. This is similar to `sha1(file(filename))`, but
 because [`file`](/terraform/language/functions/file) accepts only UTF-8 text it cannot be used to
 create hashes for binary files.
 
-Collision attacks have been successfully performed against this hashing
-function. Before using this function for anything security-sensitive, review
-relevant literature to understand the security implications.

+
+## Syntax
+
+Use the filesha1 function with the following syntax:
+
+```hcl
+filesha1(path) 
+```
+
+The `path` is the file path (relative or absolute) to the file whose SHA-1 hash you want to compute.
+
+In the following example, the function returns the SHA-1 value.
+
+```hcl
+> filesha1("example.txt")
+d3486ae9136e7856bc42212385ea797094475802
+```
+
+## Example use case
+
+In the following example the `filesha1` function computes the SHA-1 hash of the file example.txt located in the current module's directory. The result will be a 40-character hexadecimal string representing the SHA-1 hash.
+
+```hcl
+output "file_hash" { value = filesha1("${path.module}/example.txt") }
+```
