+Usage and invocation
+--------------------

+### IPCalc
+
+The function `$IPCalc` prints information to terminal, including:
+
+* address
+* netmask
+* network in CIDR notation
+* minimum host address
+* maximum host address
+* broadcast address
+
+It expects an IP address in CIDR notation as argument.

+
+![IPCalc](ipcalc.d/ipcalc.avif)
+
+### IPCalcReturn
+
+The function `$IPCalcReturn` expects an IP address in CIDR notation as
+argument as well. But it does not print to terminal, instead it returns
+the information in a named array.
+
+    :put ([ $IPCalcReturn  192.168.88.1/24 ]->"broadcast");
+
+![IPCalcReturn](ipcalc.d/ipcalcreturn.avif)
