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

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

<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
