# lsfrom

`lsfrom` lists the files and dirs in a directory starting from

the given filename or the first file after that

if the file does not exist, using the current locale collation order.

```shellsession

$ ls

A a B C

$ echo $(lsfrom a)

a B C

$ lsfrom a/

a

B

C

$ lsfrom /sy

/sys

/tmp

/usr

/var

```

It can be useful for continuing a script on the entries of a directory

after a failure, etc:

```shellsession

$ myscript.sh $(lsfrom next)

```

or only running a command on a subrange of files in a directory.

## Usage

`$ lsfrom --version`

```

1.0

```

`$ lsfrom -h`

```

List directories files starting from file

Usage: lsfrom [--version] [-s|--strict] [-A|--all] [-a|--after]

              [-u|--until LASTFILE] [-b|--before] STARTFILE

  lsfrom lists the files in a directory that follow from the given file

Available options:

  -h,--help                Show this help text

  --version                Show version

  -s,--strict              fail if specified file(s) do not exist

  -A,--all                 include hidden (dot) files

  -a,--after               files after STARTFILE [default: from STARTFILE]

  -u,--until LASTFILE      files until FILE

  -b,--before              files before LASTFILE (only affects --until)

```

## Requirements

It uses `ls` to list files with locale sorting

and requires the `-A` option to exclude `.` and `..` (ie coreutils).

It also uses `sort` when injecting missing marker files.

It has been tested on Linux.

## Installation

`stack install lsfrom` or `cabal install lsfrom`.
