    <para>
     Returns the portion of <parameter>str</parameter> specified by
     the <parameter>start</parameter> and <parameter>length</parameter>
     parameters.
    </para>

    <para>
     If <parameter>start</parameter> is non-negative,
     <function>iconv_substr</function> cuts the portion out of
     <parameter>str</parameter> beginning at <parameter>start</parameter>'th
     character, counting from zero.
    </para>

    <para>
     If <parameter>start</parameter> is negative,
     <function>iconv_substr</function> cuts out the portion beginning
     at the position, <parameter>start</parameter> characters
     away from the end of <parameter>str</parameter>.
    </para>

    <para>
     If <parameter>length</parameter> is given and is positive, the return
     value will contain at most <parameter>length</parameter> characters
     of the portion that begins at <parameter>start</parameter>
     (depending on the length of <parameter>string</parameter>).
     If <parameter>str</parameter> is shorter than <parameter>start</parameter>
     characters long, &false; will be returned.
    </para>

    <para>
     If negative <parameter>length</parameter> is passed,
     <function>iconv_substr</function> cuts the portion out of
     <parameter>str</parameter> from the <parameter>start</parameter>'th
     character up to the character that is
     <parameter>length</parameter> characters away from the end of the string.
     In case <parameter>start</parameter> is also negative, the start position
     is calculated beforehand according to the rule explained above.
    </para>

    <para>
     Note that <parameter>offset</parameter> and <parameter>length</parameter>
     parameters are always deemed to represent offsets that are 
     calculated on the basis of the character set determined by 
     <parameter>charset</parameter>, whilst the counterpart
     <function>substr</function> always takes these for byte offsets.
     If <parameter>charset</parameter> is not given, the character set
     is determined by the <link linkend="iconv.configuration">iconv.internal_encoding</link>
     ini setting. 
    </para>

    <para>
     See also <function>substr</function>, <function>mb_substr</function>
     and <function>mb_strcut</function>.
