Linux head/tail with offset

From man tail:

   -n, --lines=K
        output the last K lines, instead of the last 10; 
        or use -n +K to output lines starting with the Kth

You can therefore use ... | tail -n +2 | head -n 3 to get 3 lines starting from line 2.

Non-head/tail methods include sed -n "2,4p" and awk "NR >= 2 && NR <= 4".
