As mentioned in the same README document of whereabouts,the broadcast address will not be included while calculating ip addresses given in the range by user.

If for example the range is set to 192.168.2.225/28, this will allocate IP addresses in the range excluding the first network address and the last broadcast address.

The above is correct.

But at the start of the document, an example given as below looks incorrect.

Whereabouts takes an address range, like 192.168.2.0/24 in CIDR notation, and will assign IP addresses within that range. In this case, it will assign IP addresses from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.255.

192.168.2.255is broadcast address, instead it should range from192.168.2.1to192.168.2.254`.
