\subsection string-split0 "split0" subcommand
`string split0` splits each STRING on the zero byte (NUL). Options are the same as `string split` except that no separator is given.
`split0` has the important property that its output is not further split when used in a command substitution, allowing for the command substitution to produce elements containing newlines. This is most useful when used with Unix tools that produce zero bytes, such as `find -print0` or `sort -z`. See split0 examples below.
\subsection string-sub "sub" subcommand
`string sub` prints a substring of each string argument. The start of the substring can be specified with `-s` or `--start` followed by a 1-based index value. Positive index values are relative to the start of the string and negative index values are relative to the end of the string. The default start value is 1. The length of the substring can be specified with `-l` or `--length`. If the length is not specified, the substring continues to the end of each STRING. Exit status: 0 if at least one substring operation was performed, 1 otherwise.
