+This may be useful for continuing a script on the content of a directory
+after a failure, etc:

+```shellsession

+
+## Requirements
+
+It uses system `ls` order to preserve locale collation
+and requires ls with the `-A` option to exclude `.` and `..` (eg coreutils).
+It has been tested on Linux.
+
+## Installation
+
+`stack install lsfrom` or `cabal install lsfrom`.
+
+## Contribute or feedback
+lsfrom is distributed with BSD license
+and the project is hosted at <https://github.com/juhp/lsfrom>.
