'th position in string
, counting from zero. For instance, in the string 'abcdef', the character at position 0 is 'a', the character at position 2 is 'c', and so forth.
If start
is negative, the returned string will start at the start
'th character from the end of string
.
Maximum number of characters to use from str
. If omitted or NULL is passed, extract all characters to the end of the string.
