User Commands break(1)
NAME
break, continue - shell built-in functions to escape from or
advance within a controlling while, for, foreach, or until
loop
SYNOPSIS
sh
break [n]
continue [n]
csh
break
continue
ksh
*break [n]
*continue [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
The break utility exits from the enclosing for or while
loop, if any. If n is specified, break n levels.
The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the
enclosing for or while loop. If n is specified, resume at
the n-th enclosing loop.
csh
The break utility resumes execution after the end of the
nearest enclosing foreach or while loop. The remaining com-
mands on the current line are executed. This allows mul-
tilevel breaks to be written as a list of break commands,
all on one line.
The continue utility continues execution of the next itera-
tion of the nearest enclosing while or foreach loop.
ksh
The break utility exits from the enclosed for, while, until,
or select loop, if any. If n is specified, then break n lev-
els. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the
outermost enclosing loop shall be exited.
The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the
enclosed for, while, until, or select loop. If n is speci-
fied then resume at the n-th enclosed loop. If n is greater
than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing
loop shall be used.

User Commands break(1)
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one
or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following
ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain
in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assign-
ments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words that follow a command preceded by ** that are in
the format of a variable assignment are expanded with
the same rules as a variable assignment. This means that
tilde substitution is performed after the = sign, and
also that word splitting and file name generation are
not performed.
