# FollowName
FollowName is a simple implementation of GNU tail –follow=name
It provides an Iterator generator followname that returns lines as data is added to the file.
If the file is truncated or replaced followname will open the new file.
followname only requires read access to the file.
followname - read lines as a file grows
It also comes with followname, a command line version offering the same functionality as GNU tail –follow=name.
## Installation

pip install followname
## Examples
import followname
follower = FollowName("testfile.txt")
for line in follower.follow(open('test.txt')):
print line
