 ### Class Method: Buffer.concat(list[, totalLength])
 
 * `list` {Array} List of Buffer objects to concat
-* `totalLength` {Number} Total length of the buffers when concatenated
+* `totalLength` {Number} Total length of the buffers in the list when concatenated
 
 Returns a buffer which is the result of concatenating all the buffers in
 the list together.

 However, this adds an additional loop to the function, so it is faster
 to provide the length explicitly.
 
+Example: build a single buffer from a list of three buffers:
