Page length to set. use `-1` to show all records.

<description>
This method is used quite simply to get and set the length of the paging used by DataTables for display. Please note that this is only relevant when `dt-init paging` is enabled in the table.
The special number `-1` can be used as a set parameter, and returned by the get format of this function to indicate that all rows in the DataTable will be displayed.
Please be aware that this method sets the page to be shown - it does not actually perform the re-display of the table. In order to have the newly set page shown use the `dt-api draw()` method, which can be called simply as a chained method of the `dt-api page()` method's returned object - for example `table.page( 0 ).draw();`.
