## @deftypefn {} {@var{str} =} substr (@var{s}, @var{offset})
## @deftypefnx {} {} substr (@var{s}, @var{offset}, @var{len})
## Return the substring of @var{s} which starts at character number
## @var{offset} and is @var{len} characters long.
##
## Position numbering for offsets begins with 1. If @var{offset} is negative,
## extraction starts that far from the end of the string.
##
## If @var{len} is omitted, the substring extends to the end of @var{s}. A
## negative value for @var{len} extracts to within @var{len} characters of
## the end of the string
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## substr ("This is a test string", 6, 9)
## @result{} "is a test"
## substr ("This is a test string", -11)
## @result{} "test string"
## substr ("This is a test string", -11, -7)
## @result{} "test"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## This function is patterned after the equivalent function in Perl.
## @end deftypefn
