What is your question?

If you defined a function in your current shell or in a script then you simply invoke it like any unix command.

You can check with "typeset -f" which functions were defined (in sh-posix).

Without any sanity checks here definition is as simple as

# add() { echo $(($1 + $2)); }

and invocation

# add 3 5
8
