-#### `begin` and `end`
+#### `offset` and `length`
 
-`begin` and `end` arguments can optionally be passed to the reader function.  These follow the same semantics as the JavaScript [`Array.slice(begin, end)`][] method.
-
-That is: `begin` is the index in the stream to start sending data, `end` is the index *before* which to stop sending data.
-
-A negative `begin` starts the slice from the end of the stream and a negative `end` ends the slice by subtracting `end` from the total stream length.
+`offset` and `length` arguments can optionally be passed to the reader function.  These will cause the returned stream to only emit bytes starting at `offset` and with length of `length`.
 
 See [the tests](test/reader.js) for examples of using these arguments.
