The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/pgcrypto.html
Description:

This line in the document:

hmac(data bytea, key text, type text) returns bytea

Incorrectly lists the key as type text when it is also bytea. The line
should read:

hmac(data bytea, key bytea, type text) returns bytea

Thank you!
