Re: Where is the syntax of ${array[@]:1:2} described?

[Peng Yu]

I find the following. But this is for string according to the
highlighted word "Substring Expansion".

${parameter:offset:length}
              Substring Expansion.  Expands to  up  to  length  characters  of
              ....


The following description is actually for array. Therefore, I suggest
to put this into the array section and add references between the two
sections.

               ..................... If
              parameter is @,  the  result  is  length  positional  parameters
              beginning at offset.  If parameter is an indexed array
name sub\u2010
             .....
