Description: # 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.
